Note Devices that connect directly to Windows Update to receive updates are not affected. This includes devices using Windows Update for Business. Any device that connects to Windows Update should always receive the latest versions of the SSU and the latest cumulative update (LCU) without any additional steps. |

Use the following steps to extract the SSU:
If you’ve already encountered this problem by installing the operating system using affected custom media, you can mitigate it by directly installing the new Microsoft Edge. If you need to widely deploy the new Microsoft Edge for Business, see Download and deploy Microsoft Edge for Business. |
