Recommended Update Settings

Aerotech recommends that you use the procedures that follow to configure Windows 10 updates. By configuring these updates, you can prevent your PC from automatically restarting itself at unwanted times and from installing driver and feature updates that cause problems.

Device Driver Updates

Disable device driver updates to prevent a Windows update from downloading and installing other device drivers.

Local Group Policy

You can configure your Local Group Policy to control when Windows downloads and installs updates and to prevent your PC from automatically restarting.

IMPORTANT: If your PC is on a corporate network and is configured to use a Domain Group Policy, the group policy settings configured by your IT department might override some of the settings in this section. If this occurs, Aerotech recommends that you discuss these settings with your IT department.

Manually Downloading and Installing Updates

Because Aerotech recommends that you disable most of the automatic updates, you might want to keep your PC up-to-date by manually downloading and installing the latest security updates. If you are using Windows 10 Enterprise or Professional and you are manually downloading and installing the latest updates, Windows might also require you to install feature updates. If feature updates are required, install all of the updates only when the PC is not being used.
