Microsoft Launches Windows 7 Cumulative Update KB4463376

While cumulative updates are typically aimed at Windows 10, Microsoft releases such patches for Windows 7 and 8.1 from time to time, though they are most often aimed at specific features or apps.

Today, for instance, the software giant has published cumulative update KB4463376 for Windows 7 and 8.1, and the target is Internet Explorer on these two OS versions.

Despite being a cumulative update, which technically means that it brings several fixes, as well as the improvements that Microsoft has previously released too, KB4463376 comes with just a single fix, as the company itself explains:

“This cumulative update includes improvements and fixes for Internet Explorer 11 running on Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, and resolves the following issue: Internet Explorer performance is decreased when you use roaming profiles or you don't use the Microsoft Compatibility List.”

At least theoretically, there’s a chance that other improvements and fixes are included as well.
