Download and Install KB4541335 Windows 10 Cumulative Update For March 2020 [Version 1909, 1903]

Optional updates available in Windows UpdateOptional updates available in Windows Update

Microsoft has released the KB4541335 cumulative update for Windows 10 Version 1909 and 1903. This is an optional update and will not be installed automatically. You will need to install it manually either by using the Windows Update app or by downloading and installing the MSU update file.

Microsoft usually releases optional updates in the third or fourth week of every month. Regular Patch Tuesday is released on the second Tuesday of each month.

There is no compulsion to install the optional cumulative updates as all the fixes in the optional updates will be included in the next Patch Tuesday cumulative updates.

But if you are having problems with Windows and the update includes a fix, then you should install the update without waiting for the mandatory update.
