Updating a Windows machine can be a
painstaking process, but with a new tecnology called UUP — or Unified Update
Platform, Microsoft is aiming to drastically reduce the size of your
update downloads.
Available to
Windows Insider users on PC, tablet, smartphones, IoT and HoloLens devices,
UUP aims to reduce the download size of updates by approximately 35% when
going from one major update to another. Microsoft manages this only sending you
a download package with the changes made since your last update instead of a
full build — a big benefit for users with limited bandwidth.
Posted on
the Windows 10 blog,
Bill Karagounis, Director of Program Management, Windows Insider Program &
OS Fundamentals writes:
“We have
also revamped how devices check for updates, making them more efficient. As we
move to UUP, we are reducing the update data sent to client devices as well as
the amount of processing we are doing on devices, this especially important for
devices built on the Mobile OS. Using UUP, when your device checks for updates,
the Windows Update service will evaluate which updates are needed by a given
device. The Windows Update service then returns these updates to the device for
download and install.”
If you’re
not on the Windows Insider program you’ll need to wait until the Windows 10
Creators Update is released next year.
