Microsoft is trying to improve the updating process

Updates are a pain, right? Time-consuming and disruptive. Not anymore for Windows 11… Here, we tell you how Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 update is making things quicker and easier.

If you must perform system updates, you must have found that chore is a hassle. They take forever and those big downloads eat up ?bandwidth and storage.

Microsoft has a new model designed to make this chore easier with the upcoming Windows 11 24H2 update.

It’s introducing something called ‘checkpoint cumulative updates.’ That might sound a bit technical, but don’t worry – it’s simple and very beneficial.

Today, Windows gets its updates once a 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.? BeckITSystems conveniently performs these updated after hours when our clients are not using their computers.

The new checkpoint cumulative updates change this process. Instead of downloading a big update every month, your system will now receive smaller updates more frequently. These are adjustments to the last major update or checkpoint. BeckITSystems will continue to manage this process for our clients.

So, what does this mean for your organization? You will 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, meaning there is less chance of interrupting someone else’s video call.

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 incentive to upgrade your organization to Windows 11 if you haven’t already.
