Quality updates (also are referred to as "cumulative updates" or "cumulative quality updates") are the mandatory updates that your computer downloads and installs automatically every month through Windows Update. Windows 10 is expected to continue receiving feature updates, but only in small packages to maintain the system until the end of support, which is on Oct. It's important to note that since the launch of Windows 11 in 2021, the company has slowed down the development of Windows 10 almost completely as the focus is on developing the newer operating system. The only exception is when Microsoft releases minor incremental feature updates that roll out as cumulative updates that don't require complete reinstallation. This also means it'll take longer to apply, and you're more likely to run into problems than when installing a quality update. Therefore a complete reinstallation of Windows 10 (or Windows 11) is required. When installing a feature update, you're technically installing a new version.

However, unlike the previous servicing model (such as the one for Windows Vista and Windows 7), feature updates include a smaller list of changes, which help reduce compatibility issues and minimize the user learning curve.Īlso, feature updates are bigger than quality updates. These updates typically include new features, visual improvements, and significant enhancements to improve the overall experience and security.
