How are software updates installed?
In: Technology
Depends. Do you mean Operating System updates, application updates or something else?
At the very basic level, the software relies on various files on the system to run the way the developers want. When an update happens, these files are changed so that the software works differently (usually better).
The process of installing updates typically requires core services to be shut down first, files to be replaced, services (or hardware) to be restarted and sometimes a first-run procedure to process the new files and finish the update.
