Microsoft just released a new cumulative update for Windows 10 version 1511. The update is dubbed KB3176493, and was released a part of Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday along with two more cumulative updates for another two versions of Windows 10 (the July 2015 release and the Anniversary Update).

Since this is a cumulative update, it doesn’t include any new features but only a few reliability improvements, bug fixes, and security patches.

Addressed additional issues with certain devices that can’t transition from connected standby to sleep mode, updates not installing, and Internet Explorer 11.

As we said, besides KB3176493, Microsoft also released cumulative updates KB3176495 for Windows 10 version 1607, and KB3176492 for Windows 10 July 2015 release. Each of these updates contains a few system improvements and security patches with no new features included.
