Rolling back to a restore point several times allowed the author to avoid complete reinstallation OS after an unsuccessful update attempt, sacrificing only the most latest changes. The creation of such a point is carried out in the “Settings - System and Security - System Protection” window.

Ways to configure Update Center in Windows 10

Like all available system applications, Windows Update has the ability to be configured according to the user’s wishes. It can be configured so that the search and installation of OS updates is performed completely automatically, or you can set it to a mode in which you have to manage this process manually. There are several configuration methods, so let's look at each of them separately.

Configuration via the built-in Services tool

The Services tool is a database of all system services running in Windows. To launch the Update Center, you will need to complete a number of steps.

1. Once you open the Start menu, search for "Services" and then launch the tool. You can also launch the Services tool through the Windows 10 Device Manager by pressing the key combination CTRL+ALT+DELETE
2. In the Services window, scroll down and open Windows Update.
   In the services window you can also check the status of any running Windows service
3. In the window that opens, four tabs will be available:

“Update Center” is one of the most important tools in Windows 10. It helps you search, download and install all the necessary system update files. Thanks to a wide selection of settings, the work of the Update Center can be fully automated or, vice versa, switched to manual control. Like any other system Windows service, "Update Center" is prone to errors, but each of them can be eliminated by using the internal OS tools.

This lesson will discuss setting up Windows 10 updates. Let's look at a couple interesting moments. I'll tell you where it is Windows 10 Update and what settings it has.

By default, the update center is no longer in the control panel, and the update itself contains a couple of surprises, which we will discuss below.

You can find Update Center in Windows 10 Settings. Go to the Start menu and then Settings.

There is another way to access them. To do this, click on the special tray icon next to the clock, and then select “All settings”.

A new window will open in front of you with all the settings. We are interested in the "Update and Security" item. This is where it happens setting up Windows 10 updates.

In the window that opens, you can check for updates and go to “Advanced options.” If everything is clear with the first one, then let’s figure it out with the second one.

The first parameter that we see in the window that opens indicates how to install updates. The choice here is not great: “Automatically” or “Notify when a reboot is scheduled.” You won't be able to simply disable the update.

The "Defer updates" option allows you to defer the download of updates with new operating system features, except for security updates. They will always download and install.

And finally, let's look at the item "Choose how and when to receive updates."

Microsoft makes your computer the source for downloading updates by default, thereby relieving its capacity. Those. if you download new updates to your computer, then other users can receive these files not from Microsoft servers, but directly from your computer, and vice versa, your computer can receive updates from another similar computer. Everything works here the same way as when the computer becomes a server when downloading a torrent. On the one hand, this is good, but it is not always to the user’s liking, so let’s disable this feature.

Of course, all settings are your own business. That's all. If you have any questions, ask them below.

In this lesson I will show how to open command line on Windows 10. The fact is that in the new operating system there is no “Run” item as such, so at first glance there may be a problem with the fact that you will not be able to open the command line. It's actually not a problem.

In the last lesson I already told you how to remove cloudy font in Windows 10. Unfortunately, icons that become too small on high resolution The screen is not suitable for everyone. So today I’ll show you how to remove muddy font at separate program. By the way, this setting is also available in more early version operating system, such as Windows 7.

Today I’ll tell you how to get rid of muddy texts in some programs in Windows 10. After I switched to Windows 10, I myself encountered a problem that when I opened some (not all) programs, I had muddy font.
