Jordan Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Windows 10 build 14915 shows update categories in Settings With the recently released Windows 10 build 14915, which represents the upcoming Redstone 2 feature update, Microsoft made improvements to the Windows Update page of the Settings app. Now, it shows different update categories for installed updates. In currently released builds, Windows 10 shows installed updates in a single list. All kinds of installed updates - including drivers, security fixes, Windows Defender signatures - are combined in one list. Now the layout is slightly optimized to make it easier to locate a specific update. With the Redstone 2 build branch, Windows 10 shows categories in Settings - Update & Recovery - Windows Update - Update History: Updates are classified by driver updates, Windows Defender updates and regular patches. This small change improves the usability of the Settings app and brings its functionality closer to the classic Windows Update applet from the Control Panel. Maybe it is a sign of Microsoft restoring some functionality they removed from Windows Update. Users will be really happy if they can control updates from each category independently as well.

Holmes Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 It looks like they may very well make it the way I specified you can install all updates at once (cumulative updates) or install one or two (the way windows update used to be) updates if you want like downloading a torrent file.

steven36 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 LOL , that's not happening there doing away with single hot fix and security patches in October on windows 7 and 8.1 even ..only they will be cumulative updates on all windows .. Full Article by Microsoft https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/windowsitpro/2016/08/15/further-simplifying-servicing-model-for-windows-7-and-windows-8-1/ All there going do is make categories for different stuff like drivers , cumulative updates ,flash ,malicious software removal tool and windows defender updates its purely cosmetic it's only going to improve the looks of windows 10.updates. It dont change the way updates are employed . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
