You probably have your system set up like mine, so it’s easy to launch MSIE from the taskbar:Ī click on the “e” icon and Internet Explorer pops up, ready to go:
#HOW TO MAKE COMPUTER FASTER WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE UPDATE#
My favorite way to launch Windows Update is to do it through MS Internet Explorer. One possibility in that regard might be to set it to noon if it’s common that you leave for a lunch break.īut let’s start at the beginning.
In this article, I’ll show you two easy ways to force a Windows Update and along the way we’ll also bump into the spot where you can change when the system checks for updates too. That’s a problem, and doubly so for Windows with all the nefarious code, spyware and malware floating about.
Result is that if I don’t use the computer for a while or only use it business hours and power it off at other times, I can go weeks - or longer - without applying important operating system updates. Problem is, if my computer isn’t turned on, that time will come and go without the update utility ever launching. I know that on my Win7 system, for example, it’s set to check for updates at 3:00am every morning. The problem with these automated systems, however, is that they’re generally designed for computers that are on all the time. My suggestion is to have it automatically check for updates but have you manually decide when to apply them, so you don’t find you have to restart your system in the middle of an important work project, but that’s easily set. It’s definitely smart to have automatic updates enabled in any operating system, whether it’s Windows or Mac.
