Microsoft has released the KB5039211 cumulative update for Windows 10 21H2 and Windows 10 22H2 with 12 changes, including a Snipping Tool feature that allows you to edit Android photos in Windows.
The Windows 10 KB5039211 update is mandatory as it contains containing Microsoft’s June 2024 Patch Tuesday security updates.
Windows users can install this update by going into Settings, clicking on Windows Update, and manually performing a ‘Check for Updates.’
However, as this update is mandatory, it will automatically start installing in Windows once you check for updates. To make this more manageable, you can schedule a time when your computer is restarted to finish the installation.
