Windows 8.1 Update is a mandatory update for everyone running Windows 8.1, which means that if you refuse to deploy it, your computer can’t get patched via Windows Update as part of the next Patch Tuesday rollouts.
In a
blog update published during the weekend, Microsoft says that everyone running Windows 8.1 needs to install the recently released update by May 13. Otherwise, they won’t be included in the next Patch Tuesday cycle and no fixes would show up in Windows Update on their computers, the company says.
Those who do not rely on Windows Update to install patches and fixes can always download Windows 8.1 Update manually, but everyone still has to deploy it as soon as possible.
