Windows 11 may soon no longer require a reboot when installing security updates every month.

    Cool, so its possible then! I hope Microsoft makes it functional for Windows, too.

      It comes in 3 forms.

      1. Update small system components (packages) and load the old into ram until rebooting; I don’t think this is possible on windows.
      2. A/B Image Based Updating; Android and a few Linux distros have this; probably one of the most stable methods.
      3. Live boot updates/Kernel-space Hot Patching; found mostly in Linux servers, and distros with a patched kernel; used mostly for security updates which is what windows is doing here, but Linux can do feature updates this way too.
