Many Windows 10 users who already installed the latest Patch Tuesday updates on their computers have only recently realized that the mysterious Windows 10 KB3150513 is back.
Although this update first appeared two years ago, we still don’t know exactly what role it plays in the OS.
According to Microsoft, Windows 10 KB3150513 is a compatibility definition update for Windows. Here’s the exact description of the update:
This update provides the latest set of definitions for compatibility diagnostics that are performed on the system. The updated definitions will help enable Microsoft and its partners to ensure compatibility for all customers who want to install the latest Windows operating system. Installing this update also makes sure that the latest Windows operating system version is correctly offered through Windows Update, based on compatibility results.
However, many users are convinced that KB3150513 is nothing more but a spy tool. Also, the fact that the update doesn’t appear on the Windows Update list reinforces this belief for many users.
Windows 10 KB3150513 prepares computers for the Creators Update OS
These theories aside, let us give Microsoft the presumption of innocence. Let us not forget that the company will soon roll out the Windows 10 Creators Update OS, and KB3150513 is useful for those users who want to upgrade to the new OS version.
