Keeping software updated is the first step in optimizing your PC\u2019s performance. Every application publisher and developer keeps working on them to make them more and more optimized. Sometimes there are added features, and sometimes there are bugs. Either way, it is crucial to keep every application on your PC up to date.<\/p>\n

However, updating every app on your PC can be time-consuming. Not to mention, since every software has a different publisher, you have to find the latest version and install it manually. This is also the reason why users avoid updating their software as they do not want to engage in such a troublesome task.<\/p>\n

However, keeping software updated is also necessary. So what should you do? Well, the best way to handle these updates is to create an automated process that does it all for you. You can use the Systweak Software Updater as an ultimate application that finds, fetches, and updates the software all in a matter of clicks.<\/p>\n

In this post, let us take a look at ways you can do so and how a software updater can help you out!<\/p>\n

What are the Ways You Can Update Software on PC<\/h2>\n

As mentioned before, you only have a limited inbuilt way to update the software existing on your PC. Usually, only two ways come in to mind when talking about updating software on Windows –<\/p>\n

Method 1 – Update Application Via Microsoft Store<\/h3>\n

Step 1 – To update apps via Microsoft Store, you have to finish the Store via the start menu and open Library.<\/p>\n

\"update<\/p>\n

Step 2 – In the library, you may find the Get Updates button on the top. Click on it to find the updates. You may also see a few outdated apps on your screen asking you to update. \"Get<\/p>\n

Step 3 – Click on Update All to initiate the update process.<\/p>\n

<\/b>While it is quite convenient to use, the downside is that only software downloaded through the store can be updated in this manner. If you have directly downloaded and installed software via the website, they will not show up here, leaving most of the apps unattended.<\/p>\n

Method 2 – Manually Update Software<\/h3>\n

Now this one is the tricky method. Firstly you need to identify the current version your PC is using. Here are the steps that will help –<\/p>\n

Step 1 – Open the Run search using Win+R keys on PC.
\nStep 2 – Use the command Appwiz. cpl and hit enter to find all the installed software listed on your screen.<\/p>\n

\"appwiz.cpl<\/p>\n

Step 3 – After doing the same, you can find the app version listed. Note these versions and compare them to the available versions online. \"choose<\/p>\n

The issue here is that you compare the versions manually and then individually download and install all the updates. This not only takes a lot of time but effort too. Hence this is not a recommended method if you are low on time.<\/p>\n

The only method that can help you now is the Systweak Software Updater. What is it and how does it help? Let\u2019s find out in the next section.<\/p>\n
