How to Install Windows Update Manager

Keep your computer running smoothly with regular updates.

Updating your computer is an essential part of owning one. A computer that is not updated will not only have performance issues, but could be vulnerable to hackers also. Microsoft uses Windows Update to routinely send out updates that help to improve your system and patch security holes. In recent versions of Windows, updating has become a part of the system and does not require much user intervention or additional downloads. You can, however, adjust the settings to your liking.

Instructions

1. Click on "Start" and select "Windows Update."

2. Choose "Change Settings" from the panel on the left.

3. Select the dropdown menu under "Important Updates" to choose how important updates are handled. You can choose to download and install them automatically, download them automatically but not install them, check for updates but not download or install them or not to check for updates at all. You can also choose whether you want to receive recommended updates, which users can install updates, if you want to receive updates for Microsoft Product or if you want to be notified of new Microsoft products. Press "OK" when you are done.
