If you’re like most people, system updates probably feel like a hassle. They take forever, and those hefty downloads can drain your bandwidth and storage.
But here’s some good news: Microsoft is set to make your life a lot easier with the upcoming Windows 11 24H2 update.
Introducing ‘checkpoint cumulative updates’ – it might sound technical, but it’s straightforward and highly beneficial.
Typically, Windows receives monthly updates, known as cumulative updates, which bundle all the latest fixes and enhancements. These updates can be large, requiring significant time to download and install.
With checkpoint cumulative updates, this process changes. Instead of downloading a large update every time, your system will receive smaller, more frequent updates. These are incremental tweaks to the most recent major update or checkpoint.
So, what does this mean for your business? It’s fantastic news: you’ll spend less time waiting for updates to complete, allowing you to get back to work more quickly.

If you have a limited internet connection, these smaller updates are a big plus. They consume less bandwidth, reducing the likelihood of interrupting someone else’s video call.
The best part? This all happens automatically through Windows Update. You don’t need to change anything. Your system will continue running smoothly, with most updates occurring in the background, ensuring minimal disruption to your workflow.
Microsoft has a history of streamlining updates. When Windows 11 first launched, the company introduced new compression technology that reduced update sizes by 40%. With the 24H2 update, they’re going even further to enhance your experience.
It’s important to note that while this new update system will be standard for Windows 11 and the upcoming Windows Server 2025, it’s unlikely to be implemented for Windows 10, which is nearing its end of life. This gives you even more reason to consider upgrading your business to Windows 11 if you haven’t already.
