Summary
Microsoft is launching a private preview for its Windows Update orchestration platform, allowing third-party app developers to integrate their app updates into Windows Update, which currently focuses on Windows core components and drivers. This initiative aims to streamline updates for business apps and management tools, enabling updates to be scheduled based on user activity and system status, and providing integration with Windows Update notifications. Historically, app updates on Windows have been managed independently by developers, but this new platform could encourage more developers to utilize Windows Update for their applications.
