Windows will solve the main problem of updates

Windows updates are one of the topics that create more conflicts between usersLong loading and installation times, as well as endless reboots, have plagued the operating system for years. Microsoft knows this and is going to change it in Windows 11.

The tech giant has announced a change in the way it rolls out updates. Starting with 24H2, Windows 11 will use cumulative checkpoint updates. This strategy will include smaller, faster fixes that are installed without user intervention.

To understand the concept a little, Microsoft explains how Windows 11 updates are rolled out. Unlike versions of previous years, the operating system uses a monthly schedule with smaller cumulative updates. These are delivered using servicing technologies and include new features and bug fixes to speed up the process.

The problem is that Monthly updates are not always small and the installation process may take some time. That’s why Microsoft wants to reduce them even further with cumulative checkpoint updates, which offer security or feature improvements at the cost of smaller fixes.

How will the new Windows 11 updates work?

Microsoft said it would implement Cumulative updates as checkpoints, starting with Windows 11 24 hours a day.The next version will be released in the fall of 2024. Subsequent updates will include:

• Service pack files associated with checkpoints.
• New service pack files containing additional binary differentials relative to the binary version at the last checkpoint.

Annual updates will merge these checkpoints, so In the coming months, users will only install minor patchesMicrosoft warns that it will exploit this dynamic throughout the lifecycle of Windows 11.

While this change will be most noticeable to IT professionals managing multiple computers, end users will also notice changes. Updates will be easier and less interactive.If you’re one of those people who have everything activated automatically, it’s likely that you’ll only see the reboot notification every now and then.

It is important to note that Windows 10 users won’t benefit from this dynamic.Those who do not install the 24/7 version of Windows 11 will not see it either. In this case, the update process will be similar to the monthly or yearly update process.

Microsoft does not guarantee an error-free process

One of the most questionable aspects of Windows updates is the content itself. We have seen this more than once patches that solve one problem but generate three or fiveThe most recent case involved Windows 11 KB5039302 update, which caused computers to enter an endless reboot loop or simply not turn on.

While checkpoint updates do not guarantee the absence of errors, at least the scheme promises that the response will be more flexible.
