The Windows Update tool is a very useful native component of Microsoft operating systems. This tool keeps your system up to date with protection against the latest virus vulnerabilities and security exploits. Along with automatically updating your security protection, Windows Update provides updates that aren’t necessarily related to security, such as enhanced functionality updates.
It’s important to keep the update feature working properly, but it can sometimes malfunction. These malfunctions sometimes cause Windows Update to display error messages or cause it to freeze during your update, which can happen due to missing files or faulty configuration.
