Cumulative Update for Windows 10: August 5, 2015
Summary
This update includes non–security-related changes to enhance the functionality of Windows 10 through new features and improvements.
Windows 10 updates are cumulative. Therefore, this package contains all previously-released fixes (see KB 3074683). If you have installed previous updates, only the new fixes that are contained in this package will be downloaded and installed to your computer.
I counted over 3,900 files in this package.
To manually run Windows update in Win10:
Go to Start > Settings > Update & security > Windows Update > Check for updates.
Fix Windows 10 0x80300024 Error
On attempting to clean install Win10 on a laptop I got lazy and I failed to follow my own advice.
I usually disconnect all drives except the one I’m going to install the OS on and run diskpart to wipe. I didn’t this time because I was too lazy and didn’t feel like spending the time to disconnect my second SSD. I got the error 0x80300024 during install. I Googled it and apparently this error has been happening for years. The fix?
Disconnect all other drives and attempt the install again. That’s it!
