A move for example from Windows 11 25H2 to Windows 11 26H2 would not delivered through Software Updater, and these upgrades are not part of the security updates it installs. The same applies to Windows service packs.<\/p>\n<p>What Software Updater does cover is the regular Microsoft updates for the installed Windows version, including security updates, as well as updates for supported third-party software. Windows optional updates are not included.<\/p>\n<p>To upgrade devices to a new Windows feature version, please deploy the feature update with Microsoft&#39;s own tools, such as Windows Update, WSUS or your existing Microsoft management tooling. Once a device is on the new version, Software Updater keeps providing security updates for it as usual.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does WithSecure Software Updater on Computer Protection install Windows feature updates as part of the software update process?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","support_article_product":[104],"class_list":["post-4728","support_article","type-support_article","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"source_foreign_id":"000013039","source_version":1,"source_system":"salesforce","source_date_updated":"2026-10-02 10:44:44","import_hash":"1f32530b66c337b7d38a1a8945edd42a036650a2","vanilla_article_id":"","vanilla_url":"","vanilla_kb_id":"","vanilla_category_id":"","machine_translated":false,"reactions_helpful_yes":"","reactions_helpful_no":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.withsecure.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/support_article\/4728","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.withsecure.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/support_article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.withsecure.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/support_article"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.withsecure.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4728"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"support_article_product","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.withsecure.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/support_article_product?post=4728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
