We include information here about a number of different update types you'll hear about, but the two overarching types which you have the most direct control over are *feature updates* and *quality updates*. We include information here about a number of different update types you'll hear about, but the two overarching types which you have the most direct control over are *feature updates* and *quality updates*.
- **Feature updates:** Released twice per year, around March and September. Feature updates add new features and functionality to Windows 10. Because they are delivered frequently (rather than every 3-5 years), they are easier to manage. - **Feature updates:** Released twice per year, first half and second half of each calendar year. Feature updates add new features and functionality to Windows 10. Because they are delivered frequently (rather than every 3-5 years), they are easier to manage.
- **Quality updates:** Quality updates deliver both security and non-security fixes to Windows 10. Quality updates include security updates, critical updates, servicing stack updates, and driver updates. They are typically released on the second Tuesday of each month, though they can be released at any time. The second-Tuesday releases are the ones that focus on security updates. Quality updates are *cumulative*, so installing the latest quality update is sufficient to get all the available fixes for a specific Windows 10 feature update, including any out-of-band security fixes and any *servicing stack updates* that might have been released previously. - **Quality updates:** Quality updates deliver both security and non-security fixes to Windows 10.

- **Servicing stack updates:** The "servicing stack" is the code component that actually installs Windows updates. From time to time, the servicing stack itself needs to be updated in order to function smoothly. If you don't install the latest servicing stack update, there's a risk that your device can't be updated with the latest Microsoft security fixes. Servicing stack updates are not necessarily included in *every* monthly quality update, and occasionally are released out of band to address a late-breaking issue. Always install the latest available quality update to catch any servicing stack updates that might have been released. The servicing stack also contains the "component-based servicing stack" (CBS), which is a key underlying component for several elements of Windows deployment, such as DISM, SFC, changing Windows features or roles, and repairing components. The CBS is a small component that typically does not have updates released every month. You can find a list of servicing stack updates at [Latest servicing stack updates](https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-us/security-guidance/advisory/ADV990001). For more detail about servicing stack updates, see [Servicing stack updates](servicing-stack-updates.md). - **Servicing stack updates:** The "servicing stack" is the code component that actually installs Windows updates.

- **Driver updates**: These are updates to drivers applicable to your devices. Driver updates are turned off by default in Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), but for cloud-based update methods, you can control whether they are installed or not. - **Driver updates**: These are updates to drivers applicable to your devices.
