A patch is a kind of software designed to help you update or fix computer programs. They can be super helpful if designed well, or, if designed poorly, they may be harmful if they block an important program or delete a needed file. Patch management is the process of organizing patches to work on specific programs at specific times.

Most patches now a days can easily be downloaded from a company’s website. Although Windows patch management is done on an automatic basis. To manage windows patches, you need only to operate an update program and it will make sure to update the appropriate things at the appropriate time for you.

Corporate business have been less likely to use automated systems like Windows patch management. For a couple reasons. One being, I mentioned previously, poorly designed patches. Even the best of the best make mistakes, and if a large company lets an automated program take over the updates on their computer system, there is the possibility of glitch to cause the whole system to crash. Corporations are worried about companies that use automatic patch management for fear that they are taking control of their systems.

Unlike these corporations, automatic patch management has become very popular in the consumer market. Due to the widespread use of Microsoft Windows. Windows also has a support system in place to help you, which is very convenient.
