When Microsoft announced Windows 11 in June, the company promised to provide an update package that was 40% smaller than the previous cumulative update of Windows 10. Now, Microsoft’s technical staff finally explained how Windows 11 will provide seamless updates.
These updates will be carried out in the background. It is expected that Windows 11 will follow the updating rhythm of Windows 10, so it can be expected that there will be new cumulative updates every month and feature updates every fall. In addition to fewer feature updates, the improvement of Windows update quality also comes from the optimization of the update engine in Windows.
For example, when you check for an update and a new patch is available, Windows will now compare the new software package with what is already on the computer and download only the necessary parts from the server, which will reduce the size of the update About 40%.
Microsoft officials further explained that the same mechanism will also apply to services such as Windows Update for Business or Microsoft Endpoint Manager. Enterprises can use Configuration Manager to manage drivers and critical security updates. On the other hand, consumers can rely on the optional update feature of Windows 11.
Microsoft has promised that the Windows 11 update process will reduce the impact on users. In other words, functions such as active time will now be turned on by default. Microsoft will use the new version of AI/ML device learning technology to determine that users are not actively using PC time to ensure that they will be disturbed as little as possible. Windows updates will be here. When it is automatically downloaded and prompts the user to install after completion.
It is worth noting that the update process of Windows 11 will not be significantly faster than Windows 10, so users still need to restart the machine, and then stare at the screen for a few minutes to tens of minutes. Microsoft currently plans to launch Windows 11 on October 5.
