The arrival of Windows 11 has not caused Microsoft to put aside all those computers that still use Windows 10, a very important number, especially seeing the requirements to use Windows 11. And following the marked roadmap, Microsoft has released a new preparatory patch for Windows 10 in version 21H2.
This is a patch that some users are seeing appear and that is intended to pave the way for the arrival of Windows 10 on the 21H2 branch, a landing that will take place throughout the month of October. The patch bears the number KB4023057 and now we will see what it brings.
Preparing for the fall update
This update includes reliability improvements for service components Windows update in Windows 10 May 2021 Update. The KB4023057 patch is light and has very little weight. A patch that aims to correct possible problems with the Windows Registry and the operating system that may arise in the update process.
According to Microsoft, KB4023057 (Update for Windows 10 Update Service components) may cause a message to appear on the Windows update settings page or elsewhere asking free up disk space by removing files or applications that they do not use on a regular basis.

If this is the case, from the support page they warn that to free up space, this update can compress files in the user profile directory so that Windows Update can install important updates, and after the update is installed, the files are restored to their original state.
Also, patch KB4023057 includes Microsoft Update Health Tools, which is used to repair the registry or disable registry settings by incorrectly blocking a Windows update. This update will also display a warning if the device is running low on space and will offer new options to clean up disk space to make it easier to update the device when the storage space is low.
- This update may request that the device remain active longer to enable the installation of updates.
- The installation will honor the user-configured sleep settings and also their “active hours” when using the device at its maximum.
- This update may attempt to reset the network settings if problems are detected and will clean the registry keys that may be preventing the updates from installing correctly.
- This update can repair disabled or damaged Windows operating system components that determine the applicability of updates to your version of Windows 10.
- This update can compress files in the user profiles directory to help free up enough disk space to install important updates.
- This update can reset the Windows update base to fix problems that might prevent updates from installing correctly. Therefore, you may see that Windows update history has been cleared.
Windows 10 version 21H2 will be available for everyone who already uses Windows 10 May 2021 Update (21H1) and will reach users throughout the month of October. This update will be downloaded and installed automatically from Windows Update or manually from the update catalog.
