Each time Microsoft releases a new update for Windows 10, it appears on Windows Update servers. End-user computers are automatically updated by these servers, without having to do anything at all.
Although the above process does not cause any problems for individual users, there are cases where you may want to manually download one or more updates. For example, if you work as IT in a network with several computers with the same characteristics, as far as their operating system is concerned, you may want to download a large update for one computer and install it manually on all the others. So you won't be pulling KB from the diaconnection of your local network with the internet, hindering employees in their work.
Although these Windows Update have some tricks related to optimization delivery of an update so that you can share updates to other computers on a network, large updates are more convenient to download offline.
So, if you have more than one computer and would like to save time and do not burden your Internet connection, you can manually download and install the update. Or you may want to update a device that is not connected to the Internet all the time. It can be a computer behind a proxy server, or a virtual machine.
