Most other supported versions of Windows 10 and Server also received an update today. You should get it automatically via Windows Update within the next couple of days, but if you like to stay on top of the situation, head to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for updates. Or, you can download and install the standalone version for x86, x64, or Server.
After you install the update, let us know how things are going with your system. Also, make sure to check out our Windows 10 Forums for more discussions on all things Microsoft and troubleshooting advice. Before doing so i suggest that in the search bar that you type in winver and check that you do have the latest iteration of Windows 10 as some people are reporting that their computer has not been updated but, in actual fact, it has – apparently it is a bug for this particular version. Here’s the link and all the best. Make sure you select the correct operating bit – either 64 or 32 bit. http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4093112 Comment Name * Email *
