Patch Tuesday was over two weeks ago, and that means that it"s time for more cumulative updates. Today, Microsoft released updates for every version of Windows 10 with the exception of the newest one, version 1809.
As usual, these updates contain a long list of fixes, longer than the actual Patch Tuesday updates. They"re optional, and you won"t receive them on your PC unless you manually check for updates and install them manually. If you don"t take them, these fixes will be included in the next Patch Tuesday updates, which are mandatory.
If you"re on the Windows 10 April 2018 Update, or version 1803, you"re going to get KB4493437, which brings the build number to 17134.753. You can manually download it here, and it contains the following fixes:

Option 3: “HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WDSServer\ Providers\WDSTFTP\EnableVariableWindowExtension”. Restart the WDSServer service after disabling the Variable Window Extension. Microsoft is working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release. |
| Certain operations, such as rename, that you perform on files or folders that are on a Cluster Shared Volume (CSV) may fail with the error, “STATUS_BAD_IMPERSONATION_LEVEL (0xC00000A5)”. This occurs when you perform the operation on a CSV owner node from a process that doesn’t have administrator privilege. | Do one of the following:
