4. Checking for Updates
To protect a Windows 8.1 operating system, Microsoft Updates can be downloaded and installed from the Control Panel by the end users.
There are several categories of updates provided by Microsoft; each category prioritizes the updates based on importance and recommended use by the end user.
Important updates
Recommended updates
Optional updates
Security updates
Service Packs
Critical updates
CIT 211 Chapter19: Updates

5. Checking for Updates
Important updates can be configured to be installed automatically and typically included updates that fix or improve security, privacy, and reliability within the OS or application.
Recommended updates can be configured to install automatically and typically take care of non-critical problems that might enhance end-user usability with the software.
Optional updates must be installed manually and might include updates, drivers, and software not typically installed with the operating systems.
Security updates, rated as critical, important, moderate or low, are released to fix product-specific security-related vulnerabilities that might affect end-user or enterprise systems.
Critical updates fix critical, non-security related “bugs.”
Service Packs are a cumulative package of updates and patches released for a system or application over a period of time.
