You purchase a new computer that has Windows 10, version 2004 preinstalled. You need to ensure that the computer is up-to-date. The solution must minimize the number of updates installed. What should you do on the computer?
A.
Install the latest feature update and the latest quality update only.
B.
Install the latest feature update and all the quality updates released since version 2004.
C.
Install all the feature updates released since version 2004 and all the quality updates released since version 2004 only.
D.
Install all the feature updates released since version 2004 and the latest quality update only.
Quality updates are cumulative, so installing the latest quality update is sufficient to get all the available fixes for a specific feature update, including any out-of-band security fixes and any servicing stack updates that might have been released previously.

I concur with gmKK as the quickest way is to install the latest feature update and the latest quality update since quality updates are cummulative.
However I know Windows Update can sometimes attempt to update the system to the latest update by installing previous feature updates beforehand so it is often recommended to use the "Upgrade Assistant" to ensure you "jump" from the current version to the latest Feature Update however this would still lead to answer A being correct
A.
This option will ensure that the computer is up-to-date with the latest version of Windows 10 and the latest quality updates. Installing all the feature updates released since version 2004 may not be necessary, as the latest feature update will typically include all the previous ones. Installing all the quality updates released since version 2004 may also not be necessary, as they may have been superseded by more recent updates. Choosing this option will minimize the number of updates installed while ensuring that the computer is up-to-date.
Microsoft claim "Quality updates are cumulative; they include all previously released fixes to guard against fragmentation of the operating system (OS)."
So A is the Microsoft answer

I think I must be misunderstanding the MS Docs.
"Feature updates are typically released twice per year and include new functionality and capabilities as well as potential fixes and security updates. Quality updates are more frequent and mainly include small fixes and security updates. Windows is designed to deliver both kinds of updates to devices through Windows Update."
I get that, but if the Quality Updates are cumulative (Including any OOB ones) then I don't understand why you can't get the latest one if it has all of the previous updates included?
Should the answer not be A?

Quality updates are cumulative so you only need to install the latest one

"Quality updates are cumulative, so installing the latest quality update is sufficient to get all the available fixes for a specific feature update, including any out-of-band security fixes and any servicing stack updates that might have been released previously."
