Windows updates usually come twice a year and are completely free of charge. But, as many users have noticed, theoffline timespent to reboot was way too long and it’s annoying when your PC takes too long to update.
For thenext major Update, Windows Fundamentals team officially announced to include a much faster reboot phase. An improvement of 38% has been made last October dropping the average time for theFall Creator’s Updateto 51 minutes. The improvements will continue by moving portions of the work done during the offline phase and placing it in the online phase.
A reduction of 63% from the Creators Update
All of theoffline timewill be reduced to an average of 30 minutes in the upcoming Windows 10 Update release. This basically means that Windows Updates will be fast, silent and won’t affect your work – until you’ll be prompted to restart.
Microsoft posted on theirofficial bloga detailed comparison of the old feature update installation process versus the new installation model and the changes done since the release of Fall Creator’s Update:
In the previous Creators Update, the offline phase was completed in an average time of 82 minutes. The Fall Creators Update improved to about half of that time. This time, the major update of Windows 10 should include an offline phase of just 30 minutes. But, how will that affect your system performance?
The upside is the shorter offline period — the other side is the update might actually take longer overall. You can continue your work as Microsoft moved part of his work into the online phase, but keep in mind the extra load your system carries along in the background when it’s time to update. Afterward, a reboot will be done to complete the update and you’ll be able to enjoy the fresh new features.
