How updates work
Updates never install themselves. You check, you choose, and you can undo.
OneClick OS never updates behind your back. Nothing downloads, installs or restarts until you ask for it.
Check for an update
- Open the Start menu and choose Update. You can also open Settings and pick Update.
- Press Check for updates. This takes a few seconds and downloads nothing.
- If there is a new version, you see its name and its size in megabytes.
Download it your way
You get two buttons:
- Download fetches the update in the background. You keep working, and the update is used the next time you restart, whenever that is.
- Download and restart fetches the update and restarts as soon as it is ready. You are asked for your password first.
While it downloads you see a progress bar, how many megabytes have arrived, and roughly how long is left.
Note: You can keep using the computer during a download. Nothing changes on screen until you restart.
Full or security only
Under What to install you choose one of two:
- Full gives you new features, fixes and security fixes.
- Security fixes only keeps the system as it is and installs only fixes for security problems.
You can change this at any time. It applies from the next check.
Apps update separately
This page updates the system. Your apps are updated in the App Store, under Updates. See Update your apps.
If an update goes wrong
Every update keeps the version you had before. If something stops working, see Undo an update.
