Windows Update

Windows Update helps to keep your computer up to date and more secure by providing Microsoft Windows Vista software updates. You can configure Windows Update to automatically download and install updates for you. You can essentially “set it and forget it.”

In Windows Vista, the capabilities of Windows Update are extended beyond the features available in Windows XP and make updating easier and less disruptive.

Customising Windows Update settings and actions provides you with seamless updating and flexibility when those updates occur.

• Automatic delivery of important and recommended updates: In Windows Vista, Windows Update can automatically download and install both important and recommended updates. In earlier versions, only updates classified as “Important” could be installed automatically, and you had to manually select and download other available updates.
• Improved consistency: In Windows Vista, you will see the same user interface whether you are on your home computer or your corporate computer updated through a Windows software management solution.

• More seamless updating: When an update applies to a file in use, Windows Vista can save the application's data, close the application, update the file, and then restart the application.
• Greater flexibility: In Windows Vista, updating occurs in the background or may be scheduled for a time that's convenient for you. If an update requires a restart to complete installation, you can schedule it for a regular time. You can also postpone a previously scheduled restart until your current work is complete.
