Dynamic Update KB4020001 and KB4020002 for Windows 10 version 1703

I am confused which is nothing new. What exactly is a Dynamic Update? What version of Windows are these updates aimed at? I mean if were are all ready on 1703 why would we need these updates? In what scenario would Windows Update download and install these updates?

Same with me, what is this? One of our machines is on creators and one is still anniversary edition - neither of these kb have tumbled down through windows update. Should they of ?

As they are for improving upgrading to 1703, it would seem somewhat obvious that those of us who have already upgraded do not need them and consequently they will not appear in Windows Update for 1703.

Dynamic update I read as being a hotfix.

That's what I thought too, though KB4020001 does say "...and recovery experience..." too. Either way, neither my 1703 or 1607 systems find these updates when checking for updates, both say "your device is up to date", despite the respective KBs saying...

How to get this update

Method 1: Windows Update
This update will be downloaded and installed automatically.

These are the updates that Windows Setup pulls down. It's what "checking for updates" is pulling down when you run setup.exe from within Windows. They aren't meant to be installed by the user.

Windows 10 Dynamic Update: This includes only updates to the setup process that occurs when one build of Windows 10 is trying to update to a new build of Windows 10 (i.e. 1511 to 1607).

Thanks. These updates make more sense now viewed in this light.

Control Panel/Programs and Features/View Installed Updates/Uninstall.

I wouldn't touch that for now if stability is not affected.

It's not listed there .. Already checked, and by the way i have only 2 updates listed there although i made more than 20 update since the last clean install...

Perhaps the problem with the 2nd update is that the .CAB file consists of exactly 2 files - acmigration.dll and appraiser.sdb - and there are missing files related to installing?
