Updates are a pain, right? Time consuming and disruptive. Not anymoreโฆ Here we tell you how Microsoftโs latest Windows 11 update is making things quicker and easier.
If youโre like most people, you probably find system updates a hassle. They take ages and those big downloads eat up precious bandwidth and storage.
Good news then: Microsoft is about to make your life a whole lot easier with the upcoming Windows 11 24H2 update.
Itโs introducing something called โcheckpoint cumulative updates.โ That might sound a bit technical, but donโt worry โ itโs simple and very beneficial.
Normally, Windows gets its updates every month. These are known as cumulative updates, which bundle all the latest fixes and enhancements together. These bundles can be large and take a while to download and install.
The new checkpoint cumulative updates change this process. Instead of downloading a big update every time, your system will now receive smaller updates more frequently. These are tweaks to the last major update or checkpoint.
So, what does this mean for your business? Itโs great newsโฆ youโll spend less time waiting for updates to finish so you can get back to work.
And, if you have a limited internet connection, smaller updates are a blessing. They use less bandwidth, so less chance of interrupting someone elseโs video call.
The best part? All of this happens automatically through Windows Update. You donโt need to do anything differently. Your system will keep running smoothly, with most updates happening in the background. This seamless experience ensures that your work is not interrupted.
This isnโt the first time Microsoft has streamlined updates. When Windows 11 was first launched, Microsoft used new compression technology to reduce the size of updates by 40%. With the 24H2 update, theyโre taking it a step further to ensure that your experience is even more efficient.
Itโs also worth noting that while this new update system will be standard for Windows 11 and the upcoming Windows Server 2025, itโs less likely to be implemented for Windows 10, as that version is nearing its end of life. This means thereโs even more incentive to upgrade your business to Windows 11 if you havenโt already.
