Here is a rundown of key points you need to know about feature updates.

• They are a reinstall of Windows.

• They are named by year and month, such as 1703, 1709, 1803, and

1809; and they have marketing names, like Creators update or October

2018 update.

• They are controlled by what channel you are on: Insiders, Semi-

Annual Channel (Targeted), Semi-Annual Channel, or Long-Term

Servicing Branch. The LTSB is only available in the Enterprise

license.

Although users cannot prevent Windows updates, users may uninstall

some non-system updates using Programs and Features | View installed

updates in the Control Panel, just as in Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1.

Patch Management in macOS and Linux

Like Windows, both macOS and Linux take an automated approach to

patching and alert you when software needs updating. With macOS 10.13, for

example, you access updates through the App Store pane in System

Preferences (see Figure 14-9). Most desktop-focused Linux distros have a

GUI updating tool like the Software Updater in Ubuntu (see Figure 14-10).
