What Happens If You Update Your Windows?

With automatic updates, you don’t have to search for updates online or worry about missing critical fixes or device drivers for your PC. Instead, Windows Update automatically installs important updates as they become available.

What will happen if I update my Windows 10?

The good news is Windows 10 includes automatic, cumulative updates that ensure you’re always running the most recent security patches. The bad news is those updates can arrive when you’re not expecting them, with a small but non-zero chance that an update will break an app or feature you rely on for daily productivity.

Is it OK to update Windows?

Windows updates are obviously important but don’t forget that known vulnerabilities in non-Microsoft software account for just as many attacks. Make sure you’re staying on top of the available Adobe, Java, Mozilla, and other non-MS patches to keep your environment safe.
