Do you use automatic updates on your computer? A lot of users will set their computer update
settings to check and install updates automatically and then never give a
second thought to updates again.
Automatic updates are good except when they aren’t. What the heck does that mean? Well, as long as everything works the way it
should, automatic updates can help ensure your computer is updated with the
latest software and security patches.
However, if something goes wrong with an update to your computer, the
whole system can fail. That can mean
that your computer can’t check for updates or install any new updates giving
you the illusion that your computer is up-to-date with the latest patches.
Update installation can fail for a variety of reasons and subsequently
cause the update system to break. Make
sure you take some time each week to check on your updates and ensure
everything is working properly.
Here are
a few ways you check your system to make sure the updates are working:
·

status of windows updates:

Check
your update history to see when updates were last installed:
