Windows updates will at some time be installed automatically after the release; manual installation is typically not needed.
Tablets are set to reboot in the early morning hours, which is when the device needs to be restarted to apply the update.
Timing of auto-installation
The timing until auto-installation varies depending on the type of Windows update.
• Windows update (Quality update) periodically provided by Microsoft
Auto-installed within 7 days from release.
• Large-scale Windows update (Feature update)
Auto-installed within 180 days from release.
Refer to Microsoft support for quality and feature updates.
