Software behemoth makes Windows updates smaller, faster … how about less buggy and more tested?
Developers and other users of Microsoft’s .NET Framework will soon be noticing changes to the company’s Unified Update Platform (UUP).
In particular, they’ll see one less reboot needed when installing updates, can use the Dynamic Update capability to ensure their .NET framework has the latest feature update packages, and will have more control when it comes to deciding on optional updates, we’re told.
Microsoft this week said it will integrate the .NET Framework into the UUP, so users who move to Windows 11 version 22H2 will get automatic updates and will not need to reboot as many times. One time fewer than before, in fact. Think of the time you’ll save.
It’s part of the introduction The Register wrote about of on-premises UUP, which is designed to deliver smaller and faster uploads of Windows updates – once you install a one-time 10GB download, which is crucial to the on-prem update management.
