Portable Update helps machines run system updates from Microsoft. The program works to download updates independently for later installation, increasing stability and overall security.

This is useful in many circumstances including:

  • A slow or absent network connection due to location, inability to connect to proxy, or security concerns
  • Planning ahead to quickly update a new / freshly formatted computer
  • Provide greater control over the update process
