Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com March 21, Microsoft today released a new technical article announcing that the new Unified Update platform (Unified Update Platform,UUP) mechanism will be launched on March 28 (Beijing time is supposed to be the second day) (mainly for enterprises and organization members).

With the advent of localized UUP, Microsoft will minimize the amount of content users need to download, but Microsoft also mentioned that a big patch for 10GB will be included in next week's update. Once the installation is complete, you can update it through UUP in the future.

CTOnews.com is a simple science popularization here. UUP refers to the Windows unified update platform launched by Microsoft in 2018, which aims to minimize the content and speed of each update as much as possible. It is said that the number of updates that UUP needs to download will be reduced by 30%, and the number of restarts will be reduced, so as not to bother users as much as possible.

The ▲ schedule shows the download schedule for the March update, leading to the UUP local service. According to reports, Microsoft brought the last non-UUP update on Tuesday, March 14, 2023, while the new UUP-style local update will be generally available on March 28, when the installed March security update will be rereleased (that is, KB5023706 on March 14, those who have updated will not receive the update). If the terminal client does not have KB5023706 installed, it will download and install the UUP version after you approve it.

It is reported that if your update management solution is configured to synchronize as scheduled, no action is required. This update will be released to the "Windows 11" product category in WSUS and Microsoft Configuration Manager, which is still the same as the category in which the current update is released.

In short, UUP is the future model for the updated version of Windows 11 22H2. If your WSUS or Microsoft configuration manager is configured to synchronize, your organization will start synchronizing additional 10GB downloads after March 28, and it will be downloaded to the distribution point at once. Since then, all Win11 22H2 clients under the organization will adopt UUP local updates to speed up everyone's download speed, and the size of the downloaded content will be the same as the pre-UUP update.

Microsoft says UUP will bring some amazing benefits in the future:

Monthly quality updates can reduce downloads by up to 30%

Cumulative updates integrated with functional updates (that is, a restart to complete the current update)

Seamlessly retain installed language packs and optional on demand features (FOD) during feature updates

Reduce client downloads of feature updates (that is, limit update downloads of preloaded applications)

Automatically repair the operating system during the update process without the need for an enterprise administrator

End-user access to language packs and FOD
