Microsoft Windows updates shouldn’t really be stressful, but they often are. If you’ve been around computers for most of your life, you’re probably old enough to remember when Windows updates weren’t as reliable as they are now. You were never quite sure if your aging machine would be able to cope with the size of the download or whether your drivers would still work after the update was done. At the back of your mind, you also tended to wonder how much beta testing Microsoft had done before setting the update live and whether you were going to run into issues.
Those concerns are now largely a thing of the past. Windows 10 updates tend to be smooth, easy to schedule, and tailored for your individual machine. Unless your hardware is ancient, it shouldn’t bite off more than it can chew, and all your software and devices should still work the same way they did before once the update is complete. You still get sensationalist headlines telling you that the update might give you the dreaded “blue screen of death,” but that’s the exception rather than the rule.
The latest ‘big’ Windows update happened a few days ago, so your machine should have downloaded and processed it already. If it has, here are the big changes you need to know about.

Fortunately, that’s now a thing of the past.
