Press Windows + R keys to start the Run window. Type Services in the Windows 10 Search Windows box. Turning that option on will help in keeping all your Microsoft products updated.Open Windows 10 search box, type "Control Panel" and hit the "Enter" button. Similarly, option in the Microsoft Update section controls whether or not to update other Microsoft products installed on your computer.

Selecting the check box for the option “Give me recommended updates the same way I receive important updates” will ensure that you get additional software updates apart from the important updates. In the Windows Update settings page, you’ll find a Recommended update section. As the title says, selecting that will stop checking or downloading of updates. The last option for important updates is “Never check for updates (not recommended)”. Unless you don’t know what you are doing, don’t use that option. The third option is “Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them.” In my view, the third option is for experts. The second option says “Download updates but let me choose whether to install them.” Selecting this option means all latest updates for Windows 8 will be downloaded but you can control when to install them. As I said above, Install updates automatically is the recommended setting for important updates. The important updates are often crucial for bug fixes, performance and stability. Microsoft’s Windows Update delivers both important and recommended updates for a system.
