3.4. Check for Windows Updates in W10

Here are the instructions to check for Windows Updates using Microsoft Windows 10.

Click on the Start Button at the bottom left corner of your main screen.

Click on the Setting Icon as shown below.

This will show the Windows Settings screen.

Click on the Update & Security option.

When the Update and Security screen is displayed, click on the Check for Updates option.

 

Windows will call out to the Microsoft Servers and Check to see if there are any updates available and automatically download them to your system.

 

You will either be prompted to restart your system so it can apply the updates or it will automatically apply then without restarting.  It all depends on what the updates contain, and the options  installed as to whether a restart is needed.

That is all there is to it.  As normally they are downloaded and installed automagically, sometimes there is a need to manually check for updates.
