Microsoft releases patch kb3150513 offered by windows 10 creators update

Microsoft has released a new version of patch KB3150513 that prepares the update to Windows 10 Creators Update (Version 1703) for systems running an older version of Windows or Windows 10 prior to the version released in April.

Patch KB3150513 is an update that has been released multiple times so far and is currently in Revision 33 so Microsoft is continuing to improve it and offer the Creators Update for more systems.

The availability of Windows 10 Creators Update depends on several factors, including compatibility issues reported by users who received it, so Microsoft can decide at any time to suspend the update for certain systems.

Preparing the transition to the Creators Update

KB3150513's primary role is to ensure that systems are ready to install the Windows 10 Creators Update, and the arrival of the new patch indicates that the Redmond company is preparing to begin a new stage in the deployment of Creators Update after you have successfully corrected the problems you had.

For now, the KB3150513 patch was released for computers that had Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10 before the arrival of version 1703, although it should be noted that the prior installation of other updates is also required, depending on the operating system, which you can check after the jump.

On the other hand, if for some reason you do not want to update to Windows 10 Creators Update for now, this is one of the patches that you should block, although our recommendation is that you install the new version as soon as possible given the security improvements it provides.
