Security advisories and updates Non-security related updates KB890830 -- Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - March 2020 Microsoft Office Updates You find Office update information here. How to download and install the March 2020 security updates Security updates for all supported version of Windows and products included in Windows, e.g. Microsoft Edge, are made available via Windows Update, WSUS, and other update distribution systems. Administrators may download standalone patches to systems to apply these directly without using Windows Updates. We recommend that backups are created of important date or, better, the entire system, before patches are installed. Do the following to check for new updates: Open the Start Menu of the Windows operating system, type Windows Update and select the result. Select check for updates in the application that opens. Updates may be installed automatically when they are found or offered by Windows; this depends on the operating system and version that is used, and update settings.
