Microsoft introduces 'hot patch' function for Windows 11 to reduce the need for users to restart

News on February 24th, Microsoft has new developments. According to foreign media reports, Microsoft is planning to launch a Windows The 11 update introduces a feature called "hot patch", which is designed to optimize the user's update experience. If this function is implemented, users will no longer need to restart their computers when installing monthly cumulative updates, thus greatly improving the convenience of the system.

The key to "hot patch" technology is that it can repair the memory code of the runtime process without restarting the process. This technology saves users the trouble of restarting their computers when installing system updates. This is good news for those who need to work continuously or don’t want to be interrupted.

It is understood that Microsoft plans to provide monthly security updates for Windows 11 through the "hot patch" function. Nevertheless, "hot patches" still require the support of baseline updates, which means that users still need to restart their computers regularly to complete system updates, about once every few months.

In the best case scenario, by using "hot patch" technology, users only need to perform the necessary reboots to install security updates four months out of the year, i.e. January, April, July and October. This approach significantly reduces the frequency with which users are forced to interrupt their work due to system updates, providing users with a more continuous and stable working environment.

Microsoft has begun to try to use cloud technology on some Windows Server version devices and Xbox, and has achieved positive results. Now, Microsoft plans to extend this innovation to Windows 11 systems to improve the update experience for more users.

Microsoft released a service update yesterday for Windows Insider members. This update will be sent to devices with Virtualization Base Security (VBS) activated and is numbered KB5036080. After users install the update, there is no need to restart the computer, and the system version will be upgraded to Build 26058.1400. This move is seen as a major step forward for Microsoft in promoting the application of "hot patch" technology.
