Microsoft just made a major upgrade to Windows 11 Enterprise and Education. It's called hotpatching, and it's a game-changer. Here's the scoop: You can now install system updates without rebooting your computer. That means way less downtime for businesses and schools. It's all part of Microsoft's master plan to stop those pesky system disruptions that happen with regular updates.
Hotpatching works its magic in just five minutes. And the best part? It won't make your CPU go bonkers. You can snag this sweet feature on Windows 11 versions 24H2 and up. But heads up—it's not automatic. Your system admin has to flip the switch to turn it on.
Once you're rocking hotpatching, you'll see updates roll out eight times a year. Four of those updates will still need a reboot, but they're scheduled for March, June, September, and December. The other four updates? They'll slide in without any restarts, like a ninja in the night. They'll drop in the months between those big four.
But hey, if hotpatching isn't your jam, no worries. Admins can bail on it whenever they want. It's all about flexibility and letting businesses handle updates their way. They can pick when to update and keep disruptions to a minimum. It's like having a secret weapon for keeping your workflow moving.
