Windows Update in Creators Update will focus on improving updates to make them more transparent

These new features have been able to be tested by the members of the Insider Program or those who have dared with an alternative method but for the rest of the mortals now comes the moment of truth. And before proceeding with the updating of our favorite system, it wouldn't hurt to review some of the new functions that it will incorporate, especially those related to the update process.

Alternatives to download updates

With this name Microsoft launched a system to improve the way in which the different updates are received that were possible from other computers on the same local network or from the Internet. Thanks to this system we can download applications and operating system updates from other computers within the same local network or from the Internet

Basically what Delivery Optimization does is search the computers in our environment connected to our account in system application updates most recent operations to update in case there is any pending."

To do this, the system divides the packages and optimizes management, looking for the fastest and safest download, checking the authenticity of each file downloaded from other computers before proceeding with the installation.

The Delivery Optimization function is an option that we can adapt to our preferences in the section Settings > Updates and security > Windows Update > Advanced optionsand choose the way we want the updates to be added."

The update process has been improved

No more updating the equipment and therefore restarting at the least opportune moment. We already discussed it in its day and as it happens in Mac OS or Android, now we can choose when to complete the installation of the last update the options Reboot the system now , Schedule or Remind me later."

In addition, if we are users of a Windows Professional, Education and Enterprise version of Windows 10 we will have an even longer period of time that will be extended to a weekto be able to postpone the installation of an update with the intention that we leave all content and tasks that we are carrying out safe.

Management of downloaded applications is more logical

If we have uninstalled an application that comes installed (we already saw how, or to do it) why does the system download it again with a new Windows update?A question that they have taken note of from Redmond and to which they have provided a solution.

When updating the system our team will study and determine which applications we have proceeded to eliminate so that it is not downloaded again from new. In this way we find how users avoid having to carry out double work every time a system update arrives.

Resource management has been improved

We already saw it the other day. Before proceeding with an update the team will carry out a study of the machine's resources and one of them is the available storage capacity.In this way, if we do not have enough space, we will not be able to continue and we will have to clean up, something that will now be easier.

And now Windows 10 will be clearer when offering information about the amount of space needed and In case you need to release gigabytes of information, what are the methods you make available to us?

Renewed icons

We already saw it at the time and it is that the first thing that attracts attention is the new icon for notifications in Windows Update that now it fits better with the rest of the symbols that Windows 10 Creators Update flaunts. An icon that will appear in Windows Update and in the Action Center.

In addition, from Redmond they have worked to improve the update process so that now it is easier to check if we have pending updates and what it is the state of the same.It seeks to improve the user experience that, as in the case of icons, becomes more visual.

These are just some of the new features that arrive with the Creators Update and that we will see in the coming days.
