A question about KB5014699 vs KB5015020

[Deleted member 9735]

Hi.

For win 10, Ntlite offers update:
May: KB5015020
Jun: KB5014699
What I don't understand is the number, because KB5015020 > KB5014699. then it should be the other way around

and this gets weirder. On the official Microsoft page it says:

June 14, 2022—KB5014699​

May 19, 2022—KB5015020​

In Win 11 it is correct.
May: KB5013943
Jun: KB5014697
KB5014697 > KB5013943

Could you explain to me why this is?

Thanks in advance

The answer is right there: "Out of Band" is an emergency hotfix.

Windows 10 update history
KB5014699 - June '22
KB5014023 - June Preview '22 (July's update)
KB5015020 - May '22 Out-of-Band
KB5013942 - May '22

Windows has a smooth release schedule where they can assign the KB # ahead of time. Since KB5013942 was broken, MS replaced it with "Out of Band" (unscheduled) KB5015020. NTLite is correctly showing you that KB5015020 superseded KB5013942.

This isn't the first time. KB5010793 replaced Jan '22 KB5009543.

thanks a lot. solved!

PD: however microsoft should have used another number, to avoid this confusion, since KB5015020 > KB5014699 and KB5014023. But it's not Ntlite's fault but Microsoft's
