July 17 (Portaltic/EP) –
Microsoft has announced a change in the release of the latest versions of Windows, with new cumulative checkpoint updates that will be “smaller, faster and more sustainable,” without the user having to interact with the system.
Operating system updates developed by Microsoft are usually downloaded automatically once it detects that the computer is connected to the Internet. However, they can be installed manually through Windows Update, in the Settings section.
Downloading Windows updates, like any other operating system, may be slower than expected, as It depends on the capacity of resources such as CPU, RAM and internal storageThis is something that Microsoft has taken into account when modifying the release of new versions, with a new format of cumulative checkpoint updates.
These updates will arrive automatically at the end of this year to all computers running Windows 11, version 24H2 or later, as well as Windows Server 2025, as confirmed on his blog.
Microsoft has said that keeping PCs up to date and secure will be possible with “smaller, faster and more sustainable updates” that require no action from users during the process.
These are smaller differential updates, containing only the changes made since the previous cumulative update. “This means that time, bandwidth and hard disk space can be saved,” he said in the document.
This process can be repeated multiple times, creating multiple checkpoints throughout the lifecycle of a given Windows version, so that the Windows 11 (24H2) servicing stack can merge all checkpoints and download and install only the updated content that is missing on the device.
Finally, Microsoft has said that this new format for downloading updated versions for Windows does not require any changes or any action on the part of users, as they will be presented as normal “enhanced” monthly updates.
