Did KB4077525 supersede KB4074590 for Win 10 1607? I can’t see KB4074590 anymore.

Here are the MS pages for KB4077525 and the overall list for 1607 Previews and CUs. The page for KB4077525 doesen’t state specifically that it supercedes KB4074590, but it should contain the earlier CU plus the fixes it states.

The catalog info states that

although W10 new cumulatives will always replace older ones, regardless the specific supersedence info

Changing the subject but related: I just found out that Adobe re-released their patches for Acrobat and Reader earlier today – nicely disguised as Optional Updates:

Not really sure what to say except the rhetorical question: is this really that hard to release fully-tested patches?

After clicking on the link, I found that these pertain to the DC Release Notes, and not to the Legacy Products.  Just an FYI ~

True, but you can surely spot a pattern there: regular quarterly releases followed by ‘optional’ patches few days later in the recent months.

Just sayin’!
