[October patch live] Windows 10 Mobile September security update starts hitting devices

This story is being continuously updated…. New updates are being added at the bottom…..

Original story (from Sept 13) follows:

Microsoft and Nokia came together in 2011, to bring out the Nokia Lumia smartphones that will be powered by the Microsoft’s Windows OS. Nokia went ahead and completely ditched the Android operating system.

As a result, the Nokia Lumia smartphone and their collaboration with Microsoft turned out to be a huge disaster and the implementation of the Windows OS completely failed. Moreover, Microsoft sold Nokia in 2013 and later Nokia was bought over by HMD Global.

The impact of using Android on Nokia smartphones and the take-over by HMD Global has been very fruitful for Nokia, as the brand has joined the race and is making efforts to cement their place in today’s competing smartphone market.

However, Microsoft rolled out the Windows 10 Mobile update for the Nokia Lumia based smartphones for the arm-based devices. The update carries the version number OS Build 15254.587, was released on 10 September 2019, and is now hitting the units.

Below is the change log of the Windows 10 update as well as the screenshot for the same shared via tweet by one of the users:

Improvements and fixes
– This security update includes quality improvements. Key changes include:
– This build includes all the improvements from KB4516066.

Also, note that this will be the last update (if there are no bug fix related updates till dec 2019) that the Nokia Lumia devices or any other devices running the Windows 10 Mobile or Mobile Enterprise will receive. Below is the official dialogue shared on the Microsoft support website:

Windows 10 Mobile, version 1709 will reach end of service on December 10, 2019. Devices running Windows 10 Mobile and Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise will no longer receive monthly security and quality updates that contain protection from the latest security threats.

Moreover, the official twitter handle of the Windows Update, shared the release notes on 10 September 2019 confirming the new update for the Windows 10 arm-based Nokia Lumia smartphones:

The updates brings in bug fixes as well. As previously mentioned, the Windows 10 based smartphones will stop receiving the updates after December 2019.
