One of the key elements in everything that refers to the maintenance of operating systems are the updates they receive. Of course this is something that is extensible to Microsoft software, windowsrelated functions that the firm does not stop improving, as we will see now.
There are many problems that over time we have been detecting in this Microsoft system related to updates and Windows Update. All this despite the efforts and solutions integrated by the company itself in its project. Now we are going to focus on the new Windows 11 It has been with us for a while now and is beginning to gain greater acceptance from users.
We already told you a few days ago about a new function related to all this that is coming to the latest version of the system. It is basically responsible for expediting the arrival of certain updates that we consider to be a priority. Perhaps many of you still do not know, but this feature that can be of enormous help while improving the functionality of Windows. And to take into consideration that at first this is a function which is deactivated by default, although it is very easy to start it.
I’m sure many of you already know firsthand that the software giant regularly releases updates to its operating system. The company releases a monthly cumulative security update and other feature updates. Also, on certain occasions we can find some unscheduled updates, for example, to solve critical issues in the operating system.
This is how you prioritize certain updates in Windows 11
At this point, what we must keep in mind is that some of them are not released to all Windows 11-based devices at the same time. Microsoft uses different internal techniques to roll out some of these gradually. One of the most common technologies for this is known as Controlled Feature Rollout or CFR.
But now, and thanks to the aforementioned function that has just been integrated into Windows 11, we will have greater control over the arrival of these updates. Of course, first of all, we will have to start it ourselves manually. Microsoft informs us that, if we have the Windows 11 version 22H2 or later, we can now choose to get the latest non-security updates as soon as they are available. This avoids waiting times that sometimes take days or weeks for certain teams.
This is a function that we find in the application of Setting of the system, specifically in the section called Windows Update. By activating the option on our computer, it will have priority when receiving non-security related updates. Say that in the recent Moments 3 this is only activated if the option is activated before installing said new version.
There are users who have doubts about whether it is a good idea to receive these updates early. And it is that we will have the possibility of having the latest functions before, but some failures in the general operation of Windows can also be registered.
