By default, Windows 10 updates your operating system automatically. However, it is safest to manually check that you are up to date and it is turned on. Select the Windows icon in the bottom left of your screen. Click on the Settings Cog icon.
How often does Windows 10 install updates?
Windows 10 checks for updates once per day. It does this automatically in the background. Windows doesn’t always check for updates at the same time every day, varying its schedule by a few hours to ensure Microsoft’s servers aren’t overwhelmed by an army of PCs checking for updates all at once.
Why did my Windows automatically update?
By default, Windows checks to make sure that Automatic Updates is set to download and install security and other important updates to your computer automatically.
Is it OK to disable automatic updates in Windows 10?
Permanently disabling automatic updates in Windows 10 may cause security and stability problems, so you may prefer to “pause” them to install at a more convenient time.
