This means your computer has to stop services, copy files, check files again for checksums, look at the versions for consistency, and the services are started again. Next, the updates actually start installing.Then, the Microsoft server downloads, extracts, and verifies via checksums the updates.Microsoft first runs a detailed system inventory to find what needs to be updated or what can be updated (critical and optional updates).When you click, the Windows icon on the bottom-right of your computer, these are the steps Microsoft takes: So, why do Windows updates take so long to install? On a more positive note, Microsoft also puts out Windows updates so your newer software can be compatible and play nicely together. They did not foresee its operating system being open to a hacker, a virus, some threat, and now it’s taking back some of its code to improve it and add some other slow-moving software update to patch it. Do we even know what that means!?įirst of all, why do we really need Windows updates? Really, you can think of Windows updates as a Microsoft support mulligan.
Microsoft says they are there to patch up vulnerabilities. You know you need them, but do you really want them? After all, there are hundreds of them.
