Windows Automatic Updates include the latest security and critical updates and service packs. These updates ensure that the computer is protected against the latest viruses and other security threats. Through Automatic Updates, Windows automatically downloads the latest updates on the computer on a pre-determined schedule.
Windows Update can be setup to automatically update your PC by automatically downloading and installing both Important updates and Recommended updates in Windows Vista. Windows Update is a free service built into Windows. It is designed to help you keep your PC more secure, reliable, compatible with devices, and able to run new features that may enhance your experience. With Windows Update, you can easily get the following:
- The latest security updates to protect against malware and other potentially unwanted software
- Updates that improve reliability and performance
- Upgrades to Windows features
- Drivers from Microsoft partners
In the forthcoming posts, I’ll be discussing about configuring the Windows Update settings.
