Microsoft strongly recommends you install the latest servicing stack update (SSU) for your operating system before installing the latest cumulative update (LCU). SSUs improve the reliability of the update process to mitigate potential issues while installing the LCU. For more information, see Servicing stack updates.

If you are using Windows Update, the latest SSU (KB4525419) will be offered to you automatically. To get the standalone package for the latest SSU, search for it in the Microsoft Update Catalog.

To download these updates, open Settings - > Update &recovery and click on the Check for Updates button on the right.

Alternatively, you can get it from the Windows Update online catalog.
