Why should you care about Windows automatic updates?
Windows updates are set to a non-optimal setting.
Updates can start downloading at an unpredictable time and cause hard to trace performance issues.
How can I check them?
- Go to Start, and search for "Windows Update settings".
- Go to "Choose how updates get installed".
- Check if Never check updates (not recommended) is selected.
How to fix them?
- Change it to “Never check for updates (not recommended)”.
- Then periodically, during the maintenance window, run Win Updates and reboot.
The best environments do this on a scheduled basis every month.
