Should be there
It's part of the 2020-01 Cumulative Update. If you have that, you are good.
Oh, looks like it's automatically updating. I was looking for a button to press. I see the cumulative one, but I have two. Which one is it?

Whatever the 2020-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1XXXX is.
1903 is KB4528760

I know, it was a joke that W7 end of life was today (yesterday technically) and a major critical security flaw is presented the day of said end of life of the previous OS.
Cool, had 3, all seemed to install fine. Thanks for the headsup.
Guessing it's this?
2020-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1903 for x64-based Systems (KB4528760)

Manual update instructions
For those that can't get the update to work or it doesn't download the update (error/retry bug), go to the Microsoft site for the update:
Then go to their update catalog (it's also linked above):
And type in KB4528760 into search and download your version

Its a security update for a vulnerability that isn't exploited yet in the wild. They expect it to be exploited, hence the Advisory.
Just do it as soon as you can.
You might already have the update, Windows 10 isn't shy of auto-updating after all. Check for this "KB4528760"
https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4528760/windows-10-update-kb4528760 name in your update history
lol sameBeen stuck on Getting Things Ready -70% for like an hour...
Just a FYI, if the update doesn't appear when you manually check for updates, and if it is not already installed in your update history, make sure you're not deferring "quality updates" in the advanced options menu in windows update (set the # of days to 0, which is the default).
Everytime I try to update Windows 10 it hangs in the black screen with the blue windows logo on (the one where there are normally some spinning dots to show "loading" except there are no dots) and I have to press the reset button. Then when Windows boots I just get a 'Windows could not finish updating.' It's been like this for months.
I just figure well it boots okay after it so I'll just ignore it. Thankfully as well as the 'update and shutdown' option there's also a just 'shutdown' option so now I just pick that.
Would much rather complete the update and have this latest patch on there too though!

Isn't this update just something to let you know in the future if a attacker does attack using this method via Event Manager according to https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2020-0601
So for home users its basically worthless.

Well this was my PC security freakout for the day thanks for the heads up rammed update with a quickness. I'm still on 1809 because I've been lazy and the auto update failed and magically dissapeared after me delaying it for a week so lmao. I got the 2020-01 cumulative update it was KB4534273 for me. According to this: https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2020-0601 I should be good now right?
Someone smarter than me plz quote me and tell me I'm good and safe now lmao.

I'll get in on that soon, I'm just debating whether to wait until I take apart my current PC and rebuilt it with new stuff.
