Windows Hotfixes and Updates - How do they work? | |
|
||
| Time: 23:55 EST/04:55 GMT | News Source: Microsoft | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

The operating system is divided into multiple components. Each component can consist of one or more files, registry keys, configuration settings, etc. WinSE releases updates based on components rather than the entire operating system. This reduces a lot of overhead with having to install updates to components that have not changed. Depending on the severity and applicability of the problem, there are different kinds of release mechanisms. Keep in mind, though, the actual fix still remains the same. | ||
