Safety advice and update
Microsoft Office Update
May 2025 How to download and install security updates
Security updates on non-managed Windows devices by default are automatically installed. Although it is possible to change the default configuration, most of these systems should automatically receive updates.
We recommend that you make backup of the opera ting system before the update process starts. You can use free paragon backup and recovery free software for that or any other suitable backup software.
Once done once, complete the following three stages to start:
- Open the start menu, type Windows updates, and choose the result.
- Activate the “check for updates” button. It runs a manual check for updates.
- If the update is not downloaded automatically, activate the “All download and install” button.
