    Did anyone see this on their Windows update? I saw this on my Windows 7 update as a option when I looked.

    Got it on Windows 10. Actually it took a couple attempts to download and install, as has been the case the last couple times they've released a cumulative update. I pull the update's standalone executable file from the Windows Update catalog and keep it on a flash drive for when I do a clean OS install. It makes the process go a lot faster.

    Did the 'preview update' on 8.1 (first saving a disk image just in case), seemed it was only downloading\installing anything wich was not already previously installed, so the factual download (looking at task manager > ethernet during the download) was quite small, and lots of pausing while WU probably\maybe checked what was already installed from previous updates.

    As for whatever telemetry that was included, my hosts + firewall + task scheduler settings seems (monitoring network activity) to stop them all like before.

    So basically, all is well.
