Say what Windows Update does
What the computer is installing, and how to keep the restart out of your day.
Windows Update fetches repairs for the system itself and installs them, mostly while you are elsewhere.
Many close holes other people have found. That is why it does not wait to be asked.
Key points
- Windows Update installs repairs for the system, many of them about security
- Active hours tells the computer when not to restart
What to remember
- Active hours is the setting nobody is shown.
- A restart is how an update finishes, not a sign of trouble.
Try this
Open Settings, press Windows Update, and set Active hours to the times you are usually at the computer.
