Microsoft takes the pain out of updates

If you’re like most people, you probably find system updates a hassle.

These downloads consume a lot of time and hog considerable bandwidth and storage, jeopardizing your business and cybersecurity.

Great news: Microsoft is set to simplify your network security with the forthcoming 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.

Typically, Windows receives its updates on a monthly basis. these updates are essential for computer network and information security.

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.

The new checkpoint cumulative updates change this process. Instead of downloading a big update every time, your system will now receive smaller updates more frequently. These are tweaks to the last major update or checkpoint.

So, what does this mean for your business computer cyber security security?

With these checkpoint cumulative updates, businesses can expect a significant reduction in downtime during the update process. This means that employees can stay focused on their tasks without the frustration of lengthy update installations.

Minor updates enable quicker security patch deployment, keeping systems protected without disruptive maintenance.

Fantastic news... updates will finish more quickly, allowing you to resume work sooner.

And, if you have a limited internet network connection, smaller updates are a blessing. They use less bandwidth, so less chance of interrupting someone else’s video call.

The best part for business cyber security? All of this happens automatically through Windows Update.

There's no need to change your approach.

Your system will keep running smoothly, with most updates happening in the background. This seamless experience ensures that your work is not interrupted.

This isn’t the first time Microsoft has streamlined computer security updates. When Windows 11 was first launched, Microsoft used new compression technology to reduce the size of updates by 40%. With the 24H2 update, they’re taking it a step further to ensure that your experience is 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 incentive to upgrade your business to Windows 11 if you haven’t already.
