I said once a month, because if you use your computer once a month there is no point having it powered on 24/7, not economical. What happens is you power it on

I said once a month, because if you use your computer once a month there is no point having it powered on 24/7, not economical. What happens is you power it on when you need to use it, Windows starts downloading updates in the background, the next time you power on, installation starts on boot.
- lucumo 5y agoThose updates don't get installed at boot time. Modern Windows installs most updates in the background. The only ones that require a reboot are the big ones, every 6 months.
- phatfish 5y agoYou lost me there. Which version of Windows will install the monthly cumulative update without a reboot? Server 2016 (and older versions of W10) are horrendous for updates. You can have servers stuck on "configuring updates" during shutdown or startup for over 30 mins. Server 2019 is much better though.
