Microsoft has started opening Windows Update even any application of an external party to update. The software giant now allows developers to register for a special preview of what Windows Update Organtration calls, which will enable Windows Update to support any update for applications or future drivers. It is largely focused on business applications, but it will be open to any management applications or tools.
Windows Update is largely used to update the basic parts of Windows at the present time, as well as the main drivers of devices and even install some third -party management applications for peripheral devices. “We are building a vision of a unified and smart coincidence platform capable of supporting any update (applications, drivers, etc.) to coordinate them along with Windows updates,” Anji Chen explainsProduct Manager at Microsoft.
Most applications are updated on Windows independently, using the update mechanisms created by the developers themselves. The new Windows Update Organtration from Microsoft will benefit from scheduled updates based on user activity, battery condition to sustainable energy timing.
The developers will also be able to connect directly to the original Windows update notifications, and they are inserted into an updated App Update in Windows Update. Microsoft will support MSIX / Appx updated applications, and even some dedicated Win32 applications. Any applications are part of Windows Update Orchestrator will automatically get future improvements on the basic Windows Update platform as well.
In the past, Microsoft has tried to persuade developers to include their applications in the Microsoft store, where the store can handle updates or developers can continue to use their update mechanisms. Although the store has improved on Windows significantly in recent years, there are still some missing applications and companies prefer to update their business application line independently.
Microsoft Windows Package Manager Also try to solve some problems in installing and updating apps on Windows, but it is not a widely used method for installing applications and managing them outside of energy and developers.
Certainly combining more application updates into Windows Update is logical for a variety of applications, and it will be interesting to know if this will be used mainly by companies or whether adult developers such as Adobe may move to Windows update instead of a separate installer working in the background.
