I wanted to post this earlier but I just didn't have the time to do so.
On March 1, Microsoft released a major update to Windows 10. While it
doesn't include new features, it includes a ton of major fixes and
improvements. Here's the article from Neowin, which includes a list of
changes.

It's been a few weeks since Microsoft pushed out its last cumulative
update for Windows 10 PCs, build 10586.104, but today, the company
quietly released a new update for PCs not enrolled on the Windows
Insider Program.
Identified as KB3140743, the update bumps the general release of Windows
10 (version 1511) up to build 10586.122, and it brings a significant
range of improvements and fixes:
• Improved reliability in numerous areas, including OS and Windows
Update installation, startup, installing and configuring Windows for the
first time, authentication, resuming from hibernation, shutdown, kernel,
Start menu, storage, Windows Hello, display modes, Miracast, AppLocker,
Internet Explorer 11, Microsoft Edge browser, network connectivity and
discovery, and File Explorer.
• Improved performance in video thumbnail generation, NetLogon, Windows
Store, and standby power consumption.
• Improved support for devices including some wearables, displays, and
printer scenarios.
• Reset app default when a registry setting is deleted or corrupted and
streamlined notification about the corruption.
• Fixed an issue causing favorites to be lost after updates are installed.
• Fixed several issues that individually could cause certain apps to
fail to launch, update, or allow in-app purchases.
• Improved quality of Cortana voices and translations of multiple
languages of an Internet Explorer dialog box.
• Improved support for apps, fonts, graphics and display, airplane mode,
Group Policy, PowerShell MDM, Windows Journal, Microsoft Edge, printing,
touch display, roaming credentials, Push-Button Reset, Windows UX, local
and streaming video, audio quality, error reporting, USMT, and VHD creation.
As tends to be the case with these cumulative updates, build 10586.122
doesn't include any new OS features, and Microsoft also notes that it
doesn't include any security fixes either.
If you install the new update today, be sure to let us know how it goes
in the comments below.
