Security Bulletins have linked directly to update packages on the Microsoft Download Center. Updates have historically been published on the Microsoft Download Center and the Microsoft Update Catalog.
The process of finding and downloading updates will also be simplified. You can find out more about the Convenience rollup update for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 here. Without wishing to be too cynical - since this is unquestionably a positive move from Microsoft - it will of course also mean that users of older operating systems who install the rollup won’t have any control over exactly what updates they install, which will include ones designed to push Windows 10. Microsoft says it hopes this monthly update will simplify the process of keeping Windows 7, and 8.1 up-to-date. The new monthly roll ups will contain all non-security updates and be available through Windows Update, WSUS, and SCCM as well as the Microsoft Update catalog. This same convenience rollup also applies to Windows Server 2008 R2.
We hope that you find this convenience rollup package useful. This convenience update is completely optional it doesn’t have to be installed and won’t even be offered via Windows Update - you can choose whether or not you want to use it. See (v=ws.10).aspx for the details of how to do this. Install this one update, and then you only need new updates released after April 2016.Īnd since this update can be injected into Windows 7 SP1 media, it’s fully supported to mount a Windows 7 SP1 image (WIM file), then inject this update into it. This convenience rollup package, available to download from, contains all the security and non-security fixes released since the release of Windows 7 SP1 that are suitable for general distribution, up through April 2016. This new convenience rollup package contains all of the updates released after that service pack. If you’re running Windows 7 the chances are you have SP1 installed (if you don’t you can install it).
