Microsoft Pursuing Hotpatching to Enable More Seamless Windows 11 Updates, Potentially Reducing Restarts
-
Microsoft aims to reduce Windows 11 restarts with "hotpatching" technology for seamless updates.
-
Hotpatching allows updates to be applied without rebooting, improving user experience.
-
Windows 11 24H2 update in 2024 may include hotpatching, making restarts less frequent.

Hotpatching works by patching running processes without restarting them.

With hotpatching, baseline updates may only be needed every 3 months.
