Regularly Perform Manual Updates On Windows 7 | Faster 7 Part 22
Windows Update has always been tightly integrated into the Windows operating systems. Â Since Windows 7 is till a young operating system, it is always a work in progress, and it is extremely important to do regular checks to see if any optional or essential updates are available for the operating system.
Many people get into the habit of only relying on the automatic update system. Â While automatic updates does a good job, it often does a bad job of notifying you about updates that are optional. Â One of the great features of the Windows 7 update platform is it can, from time to time, find updates directly related to your hardware configuration on your system.
