Windows 11 will remind you of the estimated install updates time
Since Windows 10, Microsoft has enabled the automatic update function by default, that is, the system will periodically check for updates. If updates are available, they will be downloaded and installed automatically and restarted automatically.
Microsoft claims that it uses artificial intelligence technology to automatically detect the user’s active usage time, so it will automatically restart when the user is not in use to complete the update, etc.
However, this technology looks more like artificial mental retardation, because there have been many cases where the system automatically restarts when the user is using the computer, causing some files and data to be lost. For example, when I was writing content, the system automatically restarted and some of the copywriting was lost.
It’s just that sometimes the updates released by Microsoft, especially the monthly cumulative updates, may take a long time to install, and it is obvious that there is a delay in installing the updates during working hours.
Considering that the time to install the update is not fixed, so how much time it will take to complete the installation update brought by Microsoft in Windows 11.
When the system has downloaded and installed the update and is waiting to be restarted, if the user clicks the power button of the system, it will automatically show how long it will take to install the update.
In this way, users can decide whether to install the update at this time based on the estimated time, and if they are still unwilling to install, they can also click Restart to bypass the update.
An installation such as cumulative updates may take 5-10 minutes, while ordinary updates such as certain drivers, non-security updates, and out-of-band updates take less time.
Microsoft estimates that it hopes to encourage users to install updates as soon as possible in this way. After all, most updates may be used to fix errors or block security vulnerabilities.
Therefore, installing updates as early as possible helps to improve user experience and security. Of course, every time Microsoft updates bring new problems, many users are still reluctant to install updates.
