  1. should minor updates be updated first and then restart
  2. or should feature updates be updated first
  3. does the order affect anything
  4. does 'Cumulative Updates' check what updates you have, and dl only the stuff you dont have? or does it dl everything?
  5. does w10 have regular update cycle or its random
  6. anything else about updates or anything worth knowing?
 
Solution
1 & 2 - Feature updates include all the cumulative updates before them, so installing them will remove need for the CU.
3 see above
4 CU only install updates you need. They used to include everything, even stuff you didn't need. Now they only install updates for things you use.
5 Originally the Feature/Version updates were meant to be every 6 months but problems happened and now its roughly every 6 months. Since this was released in May have to assume next one is November.
CU come out on the 2nd Tuesday of the month, or do normally
