We reported earlier today that Microsoft waspreparing to releaseover 30 new updates for Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows Server, and Windows RT. The updates are now available for download via Windows Update. A rare event considering it isn’t thesecond Tuesday of the month.

All the updates are categorized as “non-security” updates, hence the reason they are marked as ‘optional’ instead of ‘important’ or ‘critical’. They are likely to fix minor issues and bugs. We still recommend you install them to keep your system up-to-date.

Head over to Windows Update and check for updates now. Or rather, once you’re done for the night as the updates aren’t important and require a restart. Head over to the Microsoft source link below to read about all the updates in a little more detail.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
