Windows 10 update size will be reduced by 35%

If there is something that Microsoft cannot be blamed for, it is that with Windows 10 it has been able to listen to the feedback from the community, especially those enrolled in the Windows Insider program. One of the most resounding complaints of recent times was that of the weight of the updates, the claims have been heard.

A new UPP manager will be implemented in Windows 10

In order to shorten update times, Microsoft has created the Unified Update Platform (UUP). This new update manager for Windows 10 will allow reducing the size of the 'updates' , it is said that by 35%. The new UPP update packages will be incremental from now on, this means that only the changes that were made since the last update will be included.

Save time and capacity on our hard drive

Incremental download packages rely on reusing operating system files to rebuild new ones required for the new version. This means that if a system file has not changed from one update to another, it will not be necessary to include it again in the package since it is a file that has remained unchanged. This saves time and capacity on our hard drive.

Microsoft promises that the sizes of updates from the UPP implementation will be reduced by up to 35%. The Unified Platform for Updates will arrive immediately after the launch of Creators Update in April.
