Microsoft Is Finally Making Installation of Windows Updates a Breeze

Steve DiAcetis from the Windows Fundamentals team announced that the upcoming Windows 11 24H2 update will enhance the update installation experience by streamlining the process, resulting in reduced installation times, quicker restarts, and lower CPU usage. Initial tests showed a 45.6% faster installation time, a 39.7% improvement in restart times, and a 15.3% reduction in CPU usage when upgrading from Windows 11 22H2 to 24H2. A separate evaluation on a device that hadn't received updates for 18 months revealed a 43.6% faster installation speed, a 33.5% quicker restart, and a 25% reduction in CPU usage. Additionally, the size of feature updates has been reduced by approximately 200 MB by integrating system applications into monthly updates, while other applications will require updates through the Microsoft Store.

Windows 11 24H2 installs updates much faster thanks to Windows Update improvements

Windows 11 version 24H2, released on October 1, includes significant enhancements to Windows Update aimed at improving installation processes and resource usage. Key performance improvements include a 45.6% faster installation time, a 39.7% reduction in restart times, and over a 15% decrease in CPU usage during cumulative updates compared to versions 22H2 and 23H2. Even devices with outdated installations saw a 43.6% improvement in installation time, a 33.5% reduction in restart time, and a 25% decrease in CPU usage. These advancements are attributed to parallel processing of component manifests, optimized reading and parsing of component manifests, and scalable use of available RAM. Additionally, feature updates have become more efficient, reducing the overall update size by an additional 200MB. A guide is available for users to update to Windows 11 version 24H2, including on unsupported devices.
