How does Windows Update perform post-update tasks (e.g. reboots cleanup)?

[ProfRon]

You know how Windows Update grabs those patches and tweaks? It finishes installing them quietly in the background. Then it nudges you toward a reboot if stuff needs to kick in fresh.

I remember tweaking my setup once. The system just pops up that restart prompt. It waits for you to hit okay, or it might even schedule it during quiet hours.

Reboots seal the deal for drivers or core files. Without that, updates hang out half-done. You feel the machine sluggish until you power cycle.

Cleanup comes next, like sweeping after a party. It zaps old download bits to reclaim drive space. I always check my disk after big updates.

You might notice it churning through temp folders. That frees up gigs without you lifting a finger. Sometimes it lingers if files cling stubbornly.

I tweak settings to automate more of this dance. It keeps things snappy without constant prods. You get used to the rhythm after a few rounds.

Speaking of keeping your system solid after updates shake things up, you might want reliable backups to dodge any hiccups.
