For users, it means numerous fixes for bugs they were likely unaware of. Due to the relative unimportance of this patch, it’s optional, with users able to use the ‘Download & Install’ link or wait until the next Patch Tuesday. On a personal level, I’m very pleased to see a fix for screen calibration and Night Light issues that had become a particular annoyance. On some PCs, profiles would be reverted to default on boot, and impossible to change until a restart.
