   I'm getting 3 updates -- the regular cumulative update, malicious software removal tool, and a .NET cumulative update. The .NET update is not always appearing at the same time as the other 2, only showing up after the 1st restart, and may or may not be named as .NET.

   Microsoft added a feature to their Edge browser to enable it to start faster. Today there's an Edge update, to 89.0.774.48 . Restarting Edge after that update I lost the display -- it was as if the monitor went to sleep, but would not wake up, so had to do a power off. Turning Startup boost [settings -> System] off before updating Edge seems to have cured or at least avoided that problem on a 2nd copy of Win10, though that's Not enough evidence to say Startup boost is definitely at fault.

   On the update process itself, I've had one copy of Win10 that locked during the update -- it recovered itself after a power off/on -- and more minor problems with a couple of others. Part of the update had to do with printing, and it broke printing with some [I think mainly corp] printer brands/models. There really wasn't much to report IMHO -- if it broke printing all you could do was uninstall the update -- but now Microsoft has published a workaround.

   Microsoft released a fix, KB5001567, which of course broke something else printing related, so now there's another fix [KB depends on Windows version], but unlike the 1st one, which showed up in Windows Update, you have to follow the link in the article for your Windows version, scroll down to find the link in the update catalog, download from there, and then double click to install. For Win10 20H2 it's kb5001649, at ~450MB.
