It is a well known fact that more than 80% of regular computer users still use Microsoft’s Windows. And Microsoft has always kept its user fully satisfied. After you buy Windows, they don’t leave you unprotected to the increasing daily threats to your computer. To keep it in a healthy condition you need to install the regular updates or patches released by Microsoft. Although there are many ways to do so, it is always advisable to get it done automatically. So here we will discuss the steps required to update your Windows through Windows “Automatic Feature”. These are as follows,

Step 1:

Open your control panel through “Start” menu. The following window will open up. Here we are considering Classic view of Control Panel.

Step 2:

There you will see an option for “System”, click on it. On the Toolbar you will see a variety of options. Go for “Automatic Updates’”.

Step 3:

Once you do so the following window will open up with various options.

Go for ‘Automatic (recommended)’. Here you can select the day and time from the drop down list when the update process will start. Or if you want you can go for one of the other two options “Download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them” or “Notify me but don’t automatically Download or Install them”. Meaning of these two options are self explanatory.

But it is never advised to choose the last option “Turn off Automatic Updates”. It will disclose your system to possible threats which can paralyse your system.
