Windows Update is a free Microsoft service that’s used to provide updates like service packs and patches for the Windows operating system and other Microsoft software. Windows Update can also be used to update drivers for popular hardware devices. Patches and other security updates are routinely released through Windows Update on the second Tuesday of every month – it’s called Patch Tuesday. However, Microsoft releases updates on other days as well, like for urgent fixes. Microsoft recommends using the automatic updating feature in Windows Update. If this is not possible, end users are encouraged to check for new updates once per week. Most updates can be automatically installed without any intervention from end-users, but Microsoft says Windows Update occasionally needs input. If this happens, end users will see a notification icon on the right side of the taskbar.
Why Windows Update is so Important?
Have you ever seen the installed updates from the control panel–>Program and features–>Installed updates. Most of the updates are related to security. Microsoft update all the security patches daily, its routine basics, and also Microsoft adds malware definitions to its Windows Defender and Security Essentials utilities, bolsters Office security, and so on. And don’t forget the occasional Windows hotfix, which may address serious issues such as random system lockups. But sometimes these update process will take more time due to the internet speed and system slowness. So this process will keep under pending and whenever you logged in the system, an automatic prompt will ask for “Important Updates Are Pending”
