Windows was traditionally serviced with major version releases every few years, service packs, and monthly updates.
To streamline update management and eliminate the need for on-premises infrastructure to deploy updates, Microsoft Digital recently implemented Windows Update for Business (WUfB), a publicly available, cloud-based Windows update service that simplifies update management for Windows 10 devices. Rather than waiting years between version releases, Microsoft now spreads new features and the latest security defenses into a continual update process.
Windows 10 features a continuous update delivery model with a faster update release cadence. The release of Windows 10 introduced Windows as a service and a new approach to servicing Windows and deploying updates.
