Download Windows 10 Service Pack Latest Version

If you are a long time Windows user, you might remember the Service Packs, that used to be released by Microsoft for Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and 7. 

From Windows 8 onwards, Microsoft has scrapped the Service Pack program and replaced it with the builds. The last Service Pack was released for Windows 7 in the year 2011 which was recognised as Service Pack 1 (SP1). For Windows 8, instead of Service Packs, Microsoft released two major updates – “Windows 8.1″ and “Windows 8.1 with update.

What was Windows Service Pack?

Windows Service Packs were basically the bundle of small patches and new features that used to be combined with previous versions of Windows, that makes the operating system more stable and reliable. They used to include performance and security improvements and support for the new hardware.

Instead of installing hundreds of small updates, Service Pack provided a way to install all of them in a single patch.

Windows as a Service

After the failure of Windows 8, Microsoft launched a new service model known as Windows as a Service (WaaS) for Windows 10. It means that instead of introducing a new version of Windows OS every three years, Microsoft would periodically provide updates to Windows 10 to improve its performance and speed up the integration of the latest features and reduce the strain of getting a new OS. 

As a part of this new service model, Windows 10 users get two types of updates, Feature updates, which are provided two times in a year and Quality or Cumulative Updates, which are provided on every second Tuesday of the month.

What are Windows Builds?

As mentioned before, Windows Build is Microsoft’s new way of providing the feature updates of its operating system. Service Packs does not exist from Windows 8 onwards. For Windows 10, every year, Microsoft releases two major builds. Microsoft has already said that currently, there is no new version of Windows is on the cards, so Windows 10 is here to stay for a long. 

How are Builds different than Service Pack?

Builds could be said as the entire new version of Windows. Therefore switching from Windows 10 version 1909 to Windows 10 version 2004 is quite similar to switching from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. 

While Service Packs used to contain all the small or big upgrades, build just includes the major feature updates. Other than that, Microsoft regularly releases quality or cumulative updates for improving bugs and security.

In Windows 10, instead of saying “You now have a Service Pack installed”, the build number is changed to indicate the major update is installed. 

When Windows 10 was initially released, it was “Build 10240.” If you want to check the current build number of your Windows 10, type “winver” in the Windows search bar. 

Build Number

In our system, currently, the build is “Build 18363.836”, and the version is 1909.

Windows Service Packs could be uninstalled from the Control Panel. However, builds cannot be uninstalled like that. For that, you have to navigate to Settings -> Update & Security -> Recovery

Uninstall Windows 10 Build

You can roll-back to the previous build, but that option is available till 10 days after updating to the latest one. It is because, after 10 days, Windows automatically remove the old files and downgrade would not be possible.

  2. Any ”fixes” for the lack of attention Windows 10 seems to have buried it’s head in the sand about with regards constant audio crackling, audio drop-outs, and USB tether to Android for internet connection constantly/randomly disconnecting?
    All of which, no matter what so-called ”fixes” i read about say, just never work for me?
    Very soul-destroying until i can afford to build my own PC.

    • worth mentioning, i have set all power options to maximum, tried slow and fast startup (slow disables ability to have audio for some reason, which is my main reason for having a PC as i use music production software and hardware), and can never enter BIOS setup menu no matter what instructions i follow.
      Also sometimes occasionally, sometimes often, it boots my Roland MX-1 performance mixer’s audio card off, and throws me back to HighDef or Realtek audio whenever it wants!
