Few things annoy Windows 11 users as much as the frequent restarts after installing updates. But this is set to change soon. However, one important question remains unanswered.
One of the constant annoyances of Windows 11 are the reboots after installing updates. Sometimes a Windows PC even has to reboot several times in a row until it finally completes all the updates. But this should soon be a thing of the past, at least for security updates categorized as “critical.”
In the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26058 for Windows Insider Canary/Dev testers, Microsoft is trialing “hot patching,” or the installation of Windows 11 updates while the system is running and without restarting the computer. Microsoft has plenty of experience with hot patching, as the Redmond-based company already uses this patching process for Windows servers and Xbox.
