Updates now affect all your IT programs

Souls or hatred, it is undeniable that Windows updates bring a good amount of news, although several times, they also bring “bugs” and problems under the arm.

On other occasions, new features are not well received by all users, such as controversial recall which already reaches all compatible computers. Instead, the new function revealed today will probably be better received.

And Microsoft works for Windows 11 to be able to Update the programs we have installed on the computerEven if they are third parties and are not directly developed by the company.

The new platform is being created Windows updateThe system which is normally responsible for the download and installation of operating system updates and pre-installed applications on the computer.

With the new “orchestration platform”, Microsoft will offer an API so that developers can record their applications and drivers and opt for what Download the Windows update and install future updates.

In this way, the third part applications that the user alone install on the computer can Update the Windows update by itselfIn the same way that Windows 11 uses it to update you.

Windows has always been an open platform, in the sense that Any developer can create a program Use official tools and APIs and distribute it for yourself.

This has always been one of the reasons why there is So many programs for Windows that do not need Microsoft approval; But it is a philosophy that also brings its own problems.

For the average user, it can be difficult to find the programs you need, depending on internet or mouth research; And Each of these programs is updated in a different way.

An obsolete program can bring serious problemsLike the safety holes that have not been closed or the impossibility of using new functions. There is also the risk of installing false programs that are transmitted by others.

Microsoft Store was born with the intention of solving these problems, offering A Microsoft application store Like the Google Play Store for Android, which can also update applications.

Despite this, Microsoft Store did not reach the same popularity as mobile application stores. This change in the Windows update can be the best next: Applications can be updated alone as a mobile.

However, several important details must be taken into account. For the moment, this function is in a Very early development stageAvailable only in a private version for developers.

A eso hay que sumar que, por el momento, Microsoft sólo ha anunciado esta funcionalidad para ordenadores Windows de empresas, donde puede ser muy útil para actualizar todos los equipos, pero no para el público general aún.

Sin embargo, no sería de extrañar que la misma función llegase a Windows Update en la versión general de Windows 11 con una futura actualización; no sería la primera vez que eso ocurre en la historia del sistema.
