I recently installed SQL server 2019 two years ago and haven't installed any updates since then. Should I install the latest update only or all history updates?

    Hi @Sayed Ali , It's generally recommended to install the latest update for SQL Server, rather than installing each individual past update separately. Cumulative updates contain all the fixes and improvements from previous updates, making installing them more efficient.

    Latest CU = "Cummulative Update" is for SQL Server 2019 is 25 and CU means, it includs all previous updates; so you only have to install the tatest. See https://sqlserverbuilds.blogspot.com/#sql2019x
