Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I just heard about a new security update to fix a critical security flaw. Where can I download that security patch?

A: There are two ways to download and install security updates from Microsoft. You can turn on the Automatic Updates feature in Windows so that your computer automatically installs updates when they are released. You can also visit the Windows Update website to install security updates. To turn on and use the automatic updates feature, click here. To use Windows Update (WU), go to https://www.microsoft.com/windowsupdate and click Scan for updates. WU will scan your machine and inform you of the updates that are missing from your PC. To install all critical updates, click Review and install updates, and then click the Install Now button.
