As an optional update for Windows 10, KB5010415 is being pushed through Windows Update. In addition, as an update that can be deployed on production devices, Microsoft also provides an offline installation package of KB5010415. Users who need it can download and install it manually.
The KB5010415 optional update is relatively more secure than technical preview releases from channels such as Dev or Beta. But unless you do encounter a specific system problem that must be fixed by patching, we do not recommend that Windows 10 users choose blindly.
According to the official log:
- KB5010415 also includes fixes in subsequent cumulative updates, such as improvements scheduled for Patch Tuesday, March/April 2022.
- KB5010415 mainly brings two new features, one for enterprise or advanced users.
- The first is IE compatibility mode/shared cookie support for the Microsoft Edge browser, and the second is hot add/remove support for non-volatile storage.
If you search Windows Update now, you will most likely see a prompt like this:
Cumulative Update Preview (February 2022) for Windows 10 Version 21H2 for x64 Systems (KB5010415).

Windows 10 KB5010415 (build 19044.1566) changelog:
- Fixed an issue where Windows Server 2016 might stop responding when running Terminal Server with certain VDIs. This bug caused a regression where Windows would actively check the status of CSharedLock in rpcss.exe.
- Fixed a quality issue affecting Windows Search that was triggered when users tried the proximity operator feature.
- Fix the false alarm problem of the System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) and the memory leak bug caused by the wmipicmp.dll module.
- Fixed an error when users were browsing domains and a bug where the Task Manager would not display the ‘start’ priority (eg low/medium/high) correctly.
- Fixed a bug where OpenGL and GPU encountered problems in some display scenarios and prevented ShellWindows() from returning objects.
For users looking to upgrade to Windows 11, KB5010415 also fixes an issue that might be encountered when checking TPM status using Get-TPM PowerShell.
The tool returns an error code of “0x80090011” due to the inability to report Trusted Platform Module (TPM) information correctly.
Additionally, KB5010415 fixes some driver issues, hopefully avoiding the bug of dropping drivers and reloading when using HVCI protection.
Other bug fixes include:
- Fix the problem that remote desktop cannot be used;
- Fix the problem of the built-in screen reader;
- Fix the problem of VM live migration failure;
- Fixed an issue that caused the WebDav redirector to deadlock.
Finally, Microsoft also released the KB501414 update for Windows 11 operating system issues, which also includes many new features.
