Windows Update

The Windows Update tab will show you the current status of your PC, whether it is updated or not. Your device will show all the latest pending updates and the status of their updates. As we can see in the image, there are two updates with the status of ‘pending restart’ and ‘pending download’, which requires a restart. You can either choose the option to ‘Restart now’ or ‘Schedule the restart’. These updates usually come with new advanced features and new improved security features. You will be also able to view your Windows 10 Update History. You will further see more options to pause updates for 7 days or more and change active hours. Click on ‘View update history’ to get a glimpse on feature updates, quality updates, driver updates, definition updates, and other such updates. You can also uninstall updates and check for recovery options.

Advanced options include update options and update notifications where you can turn on/off the settings for the following.

• Receive updates for other Microsoft products when you update Windows
• Download updates over metered connections
• Restart the device as soon as possible when a restart is required to install an update
• Show a notification when your PC requires a restart to finish updating

Furthermore, in the Windows Update tab, under Related links, you will see the options such as Check Storage and OS build info. Windows Update will work differently in Windows 10. There will be no Patch Tuesdays. Microsoft has said it will use two different methods to provide updates: regular updates to normal users and periodic updates to users operating mission-critical operations. Consumers will be delivered the updates and new features as soon as they are available. Businesses will be able to opt-in to the fast-moving consumer pace, or lock-down mission-critical environments, to receive only security and critical updates to their systems.

TIPS:

• You can use Quiet Hours to schedule restarts.
• You can now log in automatically after Windows Update if you enable the Use my sign in info to automatically finish setting up my device after an update setting.
