Get the Windows and Office updates

The goal is to swiftly download and install the latest and correct updates without wasting time searching for individual releases and risking to get the wrong files. All you have to do is obtain the complete update lists, pick the Windows or Office edition from a drop-down list, and wait for the program to display search results.
It displays the update name, type, size and release date, along with KB Article links to the Microsoft Support website, where you can find out all details about a specific update.

Select the updates to download

Since there are scenarios where you don’t need to install all updates, WHDownloader gives you the possibility to handpick the preferred hotfixes, general updates, security patches, baseline or other updates while excluding the remaining ones from download jobs.
On download completion, you can view deploy the updates or keep them stored on a USB flash drive or burn them to a CD/DVD as a backup measure as well as an effective way to run them on a computer without a working Internet connection.
