Windows updates aren’t always delivered as soon as they’re available.Īs we’ve already mentioned, large downloads, such as operating system updates, are often rolled out in stages, and there’s no telling how far down the line your PC is set to receive them. In this feature, we go beyond Windows Update to show you how easy it is to keep your operating system, third-party software, drivers and other tools fully patched and up to date. Doing so protects our files and photos, makes sure our software runs smoothly and prevents any data that people share with us – via emails and files uploaded to the cloud – from being exploited by hackers once it’s synced to our own PCs. Although we trust Windows Update entirely, we also believe that responsible computer users – that’s you and us – have a duty to be more proactive.
