Microsoft changes the way it updates Windows 11

Instead of including all changes since the original release, cumulative checkpoint updates essentially build on previous checkpoints to help save time, bandwidth, and hard drive space for users. users and businesses.

This process may include multiple checkpoints during the Windows release lifecycle, and the operating system will automatically handle changes.

The result will be smaller updates, redistributing updates more sustainably across the organization. They will provide a better experience for annual feature updates.

However, this technology is still new and has not been widely deployed, making some users concerned about the new process.

Another worry is that the update system is already complex, and now checkpoint updates will add another layer, possibly causing conflicts between different checkpoint updates or with existing system configurations, and at the same time This also complicates the recovery process if problems arise after applying the update.

These concerns are possible, but the benefits of these small updates are greater, especially when Microsoft's goal is to make the transition as seamless as possible.

The new update feature is being tested by Microsoft with Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.1252 users.
