Microsoft Pushing To Make Windows 10 Updates Faster

One of the highlights of the change from Microsoft to Windows as a service (WaaS) with Windows 10 is that it now includes updates to more frequent functions. Unfortunately, these updates often come with quite long installation times, which can be harmful if you need to get back to work. Fortunately, Microsoft seems to be pushing to find ways to reduce the time required to install updates in the future.

Responding to a query on Twitter, Windows Insider director Doña Sarkar said she is pushing the development team to reduce the update time.

The update process is an area in which Microsoft has already been working to make it more convenient for a while. In 2016, Microsoft introduced the unified update platform as a way to reduce download sizes with specific updates. That movement ended up reducing discharge sizes by around 35 percent. Last week, Microsoft revealed that it is working on new improvements with a new system that will allow it to resume downloading Windows updates from where it left off if its connection is cut off.

In terms of momentum to accelerate the update period, Sarkar does not provide any specific information. However, any reduction would be welcomed by Windows 10 users across the board.
