If you’re like most people, you probably find system updates inconvenient. They take a long time, and large downloads use valuable bandwidth and storage.
Good news: Microsoft’s next Windows 11 24H2 upgrade will make your life a lot simpler.
It’s introducing something called ‘checkpoint cumulative updates.’ That may seem a little complicated, but don’t worry – it’s easy and really useful.
Normally, Windows receives update every month. Cumulative updates provide all of the most recent fixes and additions. These packages might be huge and require time to download and install.
The new checkpoint cumulative updates improve this procedure. Instead of downloading a large update each time, your system will now receive smaller updates on a regular basis. These are changes to the previous major update or checkpoint.
So, how does this impact your business? You’ll save time waiting for updates, allowing you to focus on your job.
Furthermore, if you have a restricted internet connection, smaller updates are a benefit. They require less bandwidth, so there’s less possibility of disrupting someone else’s video call.
And the best part? All of this happens automatically via Windows Update. You don’t have to do anything differently. The majority of updates will take place in the background, ensuring that your system continues to work properly. This seamless experience guarantees that your work is uninterrupted.
This is not the first time Microsoft has simplified its updates. When Windows 11 was originally released, Microsoft introduced new compression technologies to lower update sizes by 40%. With the 24H2 upgrade, they’re going a step further to make your experience even more efficient.
It’s also worth noting that while this new update system will be standard for Windows 11 and the upcoming Windows Server 2025, it’s less likely to be implemented for Windows 10, as that version is nearing its end of life. This means there’s even more reason to switch your company to Windows 11, if you haven’t already.
