Anyone new to the world of computers can be perplexed at updates that seem to appear out of thin air as they are learning to surf. There are a few rules that apply to Microsoft updates that maybe even the long-time computer enthusiast does not know.
Every computer is set up to handle updates according to the computer settings. Go to the Control Panel and open the Windows Updates icon. The computer will prompt to set a choice of automatic install or to let the computer notify when the updates are ready for install. There is also a setting for a time to begin automatic update installation after they are downloaded.
The newbie to computers should be aware that updates are very important to the proper operation of any application. Everything on a computer that operates in real time will need updating from time to time, but keeping the operating system itself updated is foremost. The operating system controls the browsing experience.
Microsoft continually watches for security holes in their systems. In addition, they are constantly looking for ways to upgrade in the process. Information on problems is gathered during the week by various report processes and a weekly update, or patch, is developed.
These updates are usually released on Tuesday morning, but can also be sent on Monday in some cases. If the computer is set to download and install automatically upon receipt, expect the browser screen to freeze. A good way to avoid this happening is to set the Automatic Updates to notification when they are ready to download.
Always remember that Update Tuesday is not the only time that Microsoft will issue updates to Microsoft XP operating sytems. Anytime that Microsoft deems it necessary to update an official Windows product, it will happen. They have a proven track record of excellence in the customer support area and are a leader in the software industry for this reason.
