Microsoft has released the Windows 10 KB5021233 cumulative updates to fix known issues, security vulnerabilities, and performance issues.

All editions of Windows 10, version 21H1 will reach end of service on December 13, 2022. After this date, devices will not receive monthly security & quality updates.

Microsoft warned after installing cumulative updates KB5021233, and some Windows devices might start up to an error (0xc000021a) with a blue screen when starting up the operating system.

You need to update to one of the newer Windows 10, as recommended by Microsoft, using the appropriate Enablement Package KB (EKB). You can use EKB KB5003791 to update to Windows 10 21H2.

SCCM Windows 10 KB5021233 Deployment

Learn how to Deploy Windows 10 KB5021233 December 2022 Cumulative Updates using SCCM/WSUS. You can deploy Windows 10 December 2022 CU KBs using Intune or SCCM.

Using the following methods, you can create a monthly patch package for December 2022. You can also search with Windows 10 LCU for December 2022 KB5021233. The easiest way is to check from the SCCM admin console.

NOTE! – You can verify the Windows 10 versions
(OS Builds 19042.2364, 19043.2364, 19044.2364, and 19045.2364) by installing December 2022 Latest Cumulative Updates.

  • In SCCM Console, Navigate to \Software Library\Overview\Software Updates\All Software Updates.
  • You will need to initiate a WSUS Sync from the All Software Updates node (Right-click on the node and initiate the sync).

Intune Windows 10 KB5021233 Deployment

Let’s check how to deploy the December 2022 Patch Tuesday (LCU) Deployment using Intune. You can deploy Windows 10 Nov CU using Microsoft Intune. The patch deployment process in Microsoft Intune is different from that of SCCM.

I don’t think creating a new patch deployment policy to cater to monthly CU deployments is mandatory, but you can use the following method to expedite. The existing patch deployment policy will deliver the patches using WUfB (Windows Update for Business).

You have the option to expedite the Installation of December 2022 quality updates. Create expedited update profiles for Quality updates using the following steps.

  • Sign in to the Microsoft Intune admin center https://endpoint.microsoft.com/
  • Navigate Device -> Windows 10 quality Updates (preview).
  • Click on + Create Profile.

The following are the Settings for Intune quality update profile for the monthly patching process if you want to expedite the deployment of patches. Otherwise, you can use the standard quality updates policy from Intune.

  • Name – December 2022 LCU for Windows 10.
  • Description— I would recommend adding a detailed description.
  • Expedite installation of quality updates if the device OS version is less than 13th December 2022 – 2022.12 B Security Updates for Windows 10 and later
  • Number of days to wait before the restart is enforced – 1 Day
