Microsoft is changing how it delivers Windows updates: 4 things you need to know

Those monthly Patch Tuesday updates are going to get smaller and easier to manage, Microsoft says. Here's when and how.

In a post on the Windows IT Pro Blog, Microsoft's Maliha Qureshi explains that the goal of the new update concept is to make the monthly routine "smaller, faster, and more sustainable", especially for administrators in large organizations. Microsoft's management products should do a good job of sequencing those updates, but admins have a right to be skeptical and to test thoroughly before widely deploying the 24H2 release. As long as you've installed the final supported release of Windows 10, version 22H2, you'll continue getting cumulative updates in the traditional format until the end-of-support date in October 2025.
