How to download windows 10 updatemanually

To download the updates, we will use Microsoft Catalog, which provides a list of updates distributed over a corporate network. First of all, open your favorite web browser and head to the Microsoft Update Catalog website. On the main page, you need to enter the KB Knowledge Base number. Then, you can even search for updated titles, descriptions, classifications, and more. Once entered, click on the Search button. If you run into problems updating your device, including problems with previous major updates, see common fixes at Troubleshoot problems updating Windows , or use Fix Windows update issues to step you through the troubleshooting process.

If you're warned by Windows Update that you don't have enough space on your device to install the upgrade, see Free up space for Windows updates. If you experience internet connection issues while updating your device, see Fix Wi-Fi connection issues in Windows. Get more info about Windows Update Check for updates. When the Windows 10 November Update is ready for your device, it will be available to download from the Windows Update page in Settings. Choose a time that works best for you to download the update.

After that, your device will be running Windows 10, version 21H2. To check whether you're already running the November Update, select View update history on the Windows Update settings page.

If updates are available, install them. If version 21H1 isn't offered automatically through Check for updates , you can get it manually through the Windows Update Assistant. Personally, I check for a manual update occassionally just in case anything has been missed. One might argue that Windows Updates simply modify the features of the operating system or push fixes to existing problems, which many users might not require.

So, why is it still important to make sure your system is up to date? The reason is simple — security updates. Cybercriminals keep getting smarter and find ways to hack into the current system. To counter the same, Microsoft keeps launching security updates. These security updates are obviously important, else your system would be at risk. Easy to follow. No jargon. Pictures helped.
