Keep Windows up to date by utilizing the Windows Update tool. Most updates are installed automatically in Windows 10; you can run the update tool yourself to see if any updates need to be completed.

• Click the start button, which is usually at the bottom left corner of the screen.

• Following Windows installing an automatic update, it may encourage you to reboot your computer.

• Click settings, which is toward the bottom of the menu.

• Click update and security. It is the option with two curved arrows.

• Click check for updates. It is at the top of the right panel.

• Windows will subsequently check for updates.

• If no updates are available, you will view a message that says that Windows is up to date.

• If updates are offered, they will download automatically.

• Keep this Window open as the update installs, so you will know if you need to restart your computer.

• Restart your computer when asked.

• When the computer comes back on, make sure you are connected to the internet.

One thing that will make sure that your Windows is running perfectly is if you would keep it updated at all times. What if you have set your windows to manual update?

These are the steps that you have to do to update it properly:

• Open Windows by clicking on the Start button in the lower−left corner of the page.

• Click Windows Update.

• There are also instances when you can just find a button that says “Update.”

• You may want to make sure that Windows will always find an update.

• Look for the latest updates for Windows before it starts downloading on your computer.

Once Windows finds the right update, it will start to update the rest of your computer. Just follow the needed steps and finish the update properly before using your computer again.

Updating your Windows Operating System is always going to be important. If you do not update, your gadget is going to start getting slower until such a time when you can barely use your laptop anymore.

These are the steps that you have to take to successfully update Windows:

• Click the Start button on the lower−left corner.
• In the search box, you need to type the word, “Update.”
• There will be a list of results available, and you can choose “Windows Update.”
• There are instances when the word that will appear is just “Update.”
• Wait while Windows will start to look for the latest updates.

Once Windows has found the right update, you just need to wait for the update to be downloaded before you can start using your gadget again.
