Win8 turn on security patches for automatic Updates

By convention, Microsoft will release a new security update in the second Tuesday of each month, as well as an emergency patch when there are major vulnerabilities. If our Win8 system is in a non automatic update state, we can only rely on manual update, which requires users to be able to know the first time the patch release information, it is obviously unrealistic.

Microsoft Tuesday Patch

Therefore, the best way is to set the system directly to automatically update and install the patch, so that the system will automatically download security patches and install at the first time, completely without human operation can make the computer in the latest and safest state.

The method of turning on automatic Update is also very simple, first we slide the mouse to the lower right corner of the screen to pull up the charm bar, then select "Settings", then click "Control Panel" to enter the control Panel.

Open Control Panel

In the control Panel we find and click on the "System and Security" option, in the new interface can see "Windows Update", the first category is "Turn on or off automatic Updates."

Find Windows Update

In the Windows Update Settings window, click the Drop-down menu to find the Automatic Install updates (recommended) to complete the setup. One thing to mention here is that this setting is limited to important updates, and if we want the recommended updates to be installed automatically, we need to check the following "Recommended updates as received in the same way as important updates."

Choose to install updates automatically

Is it easy to click OK so that we can successfully set up the automatic update of Windows? With Automatic Updates we don't have to worry about the important security patches that are missing, and we suggest that we all be able to turn this feature on and make the computer more secure.
