Microsoft is always working on improving
the quality of its Windows operating systems by fixing bugs and enhancing
features to the operating system and associated programs. It makes these
changes available to Windows users through the Windows Update feature. There
are three ways you can get these Windows Updates –through the tool that is
built into your operating system, from Microsoft's website and through
Automatic Updates.
Click
the "Start" button, choose "All Programs" and select
"Windows Update." Or, if you are running Windows Vista or Windows 7,
you can open the "Control Panel," choose "Safety and
Security" and click on "Windows Update."
Select "Check for updates." Wait as the
Windows Update tool scans checks for updates that you have not installed. If
you see a message that says, "Updates are available for your
computer" or "Install updates for your computer," click the
button labeled "Install updates."
Select
"Check for updates." Wait as the Windows Update tool scans checks for
updates that you have not installed. If you see a message that says,
"Updates are available for your computer" or "Install updates
for your computer," click the button labeled "Install updates."
Wait
as the updates install. Restart your computer when prompted to complete
the updating process.
Open Internet Explorer and go to http://update.microsoft.com Click
the "Express" button to see only high-priority updates that need to
be installed for your computer. Click the "Custom" button if you
want to view optional updates in addition to high-priority updates.
Wait as the updater scans and gathers
necessary information from your computer. It will need to find out what
operating system you are using, along with the version of Microsoft programs
you have on your computer that are affected by Windows updates.
View the updates that are available for
your computer once the updater finishes scanning. Select the ones you want
to download and click "Get updates."
Click the "Open" button and then
click the "Run" button when the message appears asking what you want
to do with the download. Click "Next" and follow the
instructions on the installation wizard.
Restart your computer once the installer
finishes installing the updates.
Click the "Start" button and
choose "Control Panel." If you are using Windows XP, choose
"Automatic Updates." If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7,
choose "System and Security," and then click on "Turn automatic
updating on or off."
Select the radio button next to
"Automatic (recommended)" if you are using Windows XP. If you
are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, click on the drop-down menu and choose
"Install updates automatically (recommended)."
Push the "OK" button to close the
window and confirm your Automatic Update preferences. Automatic Updates
will now take care of your updates for you automatically, based on your
settings.
