"Microsoft Plans to Reduce Reboots for Windows Updates"
Microsoft is testing a new feature in Windows 11 that could significantly reduce the number of mandatory reboots required for security updates. By utilizing a Windows Server feature called hotpatching, PCs with Virtualization Based Security (VBS) enabled may be able to apply updates without rebooting, making it easier to stay up to date without disrupting users' activities. While reboots will still be necessary every few months, this change could minimize the inconvenience of frequent updates and provide a smoother user experience.
