Windows 10 comes with smaller updates (quality updates)

Microsoft continues to develop Windows 10, and part of the company's efforts seems to be a new form of quality updates ( updates) that will be introduced with the release of Redstone 5 (in October 2018).

In Windows 10, Microsoft made the cumulative updates, including all the fixes that had been released before in a single package. Technically, installing the latest cumulative update updates the system regardless of whether it was last month updated. But in this way the size of the cumulative updates increases every month.

Until February 12 2019, Microsoft will also has the delta updates that only include the changes made since the previous cumulative updates, providing updated systems with a smaller package that can be installed quickly.

But to make updates even faster, Microsoft will present a new type of updates by Redstone 5. These updates will be different in three ways: they will be smaller in size, simpler to manage, and redistributable.

New updates will continue to roll out through Windows Update, and Microsoft says companies will have plenty more .

Since this new update package will be redistributable, companies using explicit updates through WSUS, System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM), or a third-party management solution that supports explicit updates will experience huge savings in network bandwidth and the size of the cache at distribution points or update servers.

"In addition, devices running the next major update of Windows 10 (Redstone 5) will be 40% more efficient during the update, as there will be no background calculations required to receive explicit updates."

New updates will be packaged as .CAB files but will also be available as Update Standalone Installer (.MSU) from the Microsoft Update Catalog.

Windows 10 Redstone 5 is expected to be available to the public from October and could be called Update. We should mention that Microsoft's specific effort on updates can be very useful to companies, but also to individuals.
But the updates of personal computers they should be tested more, which is happening on company updates (Window 10: The long journey of paid trust).
