    Does microsoft roll up security patches?


    I had my windows update paused for the last ~25 days. So I just went to update today and got the 2018-07 cumulative update available (KB4340917) and the 2018-08 cumulative update (KB4343909). When I dled the update and checked the update history, the 2018-08 worked and the 07 failed. I then checked for updates again and there was none available. DOes this mean the 07 updates were updated with the 08 cumulative update?

    Cumulative means "everything since the feature upgrade." Thus each new cumulative upgrade includes the previous one plus all new patches since that one. If you install a newer one, you no longer need the older one because as the old spaghetti sauce advert used to say "It's in there!" When you got KB4343909, 4340917 was automatically covered.
