Regularly updating your system is essential for every user. It’s advisable to check for updates at least once or twice a month, ideally on weekends, to maximize your server’s stability and performance. These updates often include critical security patches, which help enhance overall security.
This guide will walk you through the update process. Let’s begin:
Note: A server reboot will be necessary to complete the process. Only proceed if you’re comfortable rebooting the server!
STEP 1
Connect to your VPS or dedicated server, then click the Start button and select Settings.
STEP 2
On the new window, select Updates & Security, then select Windows Update and click Check for updates button.
If updates are available, the system will begin downloading and preparing them. Once this process is complete, you’ll be prompted to reboot your server to apply the changes. It’s highly advisable to restart your server right away to prevent any unexpected interruptions. Please note that rebooting will close all open applications, so you’ll need to reconnect and reopen them afterward.
