Based on your Windows version, the recommended method for checking for and installing Windows updates is listed below. To be sure you’re following the instructions for your computer correctly, you’ll need to know what version of Windows you have.

Windows Update can be found in Settings in Windows 11.

Right-click the Start button and select Settings or use the search box to find it. Select Windows Update from the left side when it opens.

Select Check for updates to see if Windows 11 has any updates.

After clicking that button, Windows 11 checks for OS updates, but it also does this automatically. Your computer may restart to apply updates while you are using it or at a later time, depending on the settings you have set.
