Microsoft periodically publishes updates to Windows. These updates will add new features or security fixes. In August 2016, Microsoft released a significant update to Windows 10, called the "Anniversary Update". This is a free update for all users of Windows 10 and it can be installed the same way as any other Windows update. In this movie, we'll see how Windows update works. We'll also look at options for controlling when the computer will automatically restart to complete certain updates.
- [Voiceover] In this movie, I want to introduce…a few very important tools which we will…come back to throughout this course,…but they're pretty essential as you're…working with Windows, so I want to…introduce them early.…What we're talking about here…is the Action Center and the tools…that you have for adjusting settings.…First, the Action Center.…If we go down to the taskbar, on the very far right,…there's this button.…Now, if I click on that,…it opens up the Action Center panel.…Action Center has a few purposes.…First, it gives you a place to manage notifications.…Notifications are when there's an alert…or some information from an application…that you should be aware of.…
Things like calendar reminders…or new e-mail messages and this is a topic…that we'll get into later,…but the Action Center also gives you quick access…to some very important controls.…The sorts of things that you might need…to access very quickly and I can see…those buttons down here at the bottom.…I can quickly switch to tablet mode…or make a note inside of One Note…
