Hi there,

I am not on the Windows Insider Program, yet I received the KB5007253 19044.1379 in my normal Updates - see screen shot below.

Do I need to do anything, like install it - I'm not fully aware what a Feature Update is, compared to a Cumulative Update. I found this, but I'm none the wiser, although it would appear to be important to install it.

What are Windows 10 feature updates?
On Windows 10, features updates are technically new versions of the OS, which are available twice a year, during spring and fall time frame. They are also known as "semi-annual" releases, and they're supported for 18 months. After the support cycle ends, you must upgrade to a supported version to continue getting security and non-security patches.

You are ok. 21h2 has now been released to the general public as an optional update. Feature updates are new features rather than bug fixes and security updates. In this case it is a very small update which should install very quickly if you are on 21H1. As it is optional you don't have to install it at this time.

UPDATE: KB5007253 Windows 10 RP Build 19044.1381 (21H2) and 19044.1381 (21H1)
