Checking for updates

Typically, manually checking for updates isn't required on Windows. You can do this quickly by following these steps:

  1. Open Settings | Update & Security option.
  2. Click on the Check for updates button on the Windows Update page, as shown:

Figure 11.5 - The Check for updates button

Windows connects to Windows Update and gets a list of any updates that are pending, as you can see in the following screenshot, where an update is downloading:

Figure 11.6 - Downloading an update from Windows Update

If updates are available, they start downloading and installing automatically, even if you have configured settings in a GPO to only notify you of downloading and installing.

You have now learned how to check for updates manually. If any updates are pending, then these updates will be downloaded and installed.

In the next section, we are going to learn how you can test and validate updates.
