Windows 11 welcome update: 'Hot patch' technology reduces restart troubles

According to the latest news, there are rumors that Microsoft is planning to introduce an update mechanism called "hot patch" for Windows 11 to reduce the problem of users needing to restart the system when installing critical updates. This technology has been tested and proven for some time on Windows Server and Xbox platforms.

For Windows users, the update restart prompt that suddenly pops up while working or playing has always been a big problem. However, the introduction of "hot patch" technology is expected to completely change this situation and make the restart during the installation update process a thing of the past. This technology can patch the memory code of a running process without restarting the process, thus significantly improving the system's update efficiency and user experience.

According to the editor's understanding, although "hot patch" technology can significantly reduce the need for restarts, in some cases, restarts are still necessary. Microsoft expects that, ideally, only four monthly security updates per year will require users to reboot their devices: January, April, July, and October. The rest of the time, users will receive updates via "hot patches" that don't require a reboot.

According to reports, Windows 11 is expected to launch hot patch functionality for the first time in this year’s 24H2 version. According to the plan, this version will be pre-installed (OEM) starting in June and pushed to existing Windows 11 users in September. This update will not only bring new features and improvements, but also provide users with a smoother and more efficient update experience.
