In order to keep up with the times and use the computer more efficiently, each user needs to constantly update the software, i.e. install newer (fresh) versions of frequently used programs.
Well, what program is the most used by almost every user? Of course, a browser is a program for working on the Internet. Therefore, in this lesson Let's talk about how to update the program using the example of updating the browser.
But before we start updating, let's see how updating a program differs from a regular installation.
Updating the program means installing a new version of the program over the old one. With this setting, the program saves individual settings from previous version. Those. if we update the program, then all our settings, bookmarks, panels (and so on) will be saved. If we first remove old version program, and then install a new one, then all settings and bookmarks will have to be restored again and manually.
Therefore, keep in mind the following - if the program is stable and we do not notice any deviations in its work, then the program can simply be updated, and if the program starts to malfunction (for example, after changing its settings or installing add-ons), then it is probably more correct there will be such a program to reinstall (delete and reinstall).
Got it sorted out! Now let's proceed directly to the update.
In this tutorial, I will update the browser Internet Explorer(IE) - I will install the 9th version over the previous version (I have IE 8).
Before installing new version, you need to download it. It is best to do this on the official website of the manufacturer, so download setup file IE 9 on the Microsoft site.
To do this, we find a button there Download:
In the next window, first of all, we select the language and version of our operating system so that the version that is suitable for our computer is downloaded. For this we choose desired item in the drop-down list (I have a Russian 32-bit Windows 7), after which we boldly press the button Download:
If you are not sure which Windows is installed on your computer, you can find out this information by clicking right click mouse by icon My computer and choosing the item Properties. On Windows 7 it looks like this:
After pressing the button Download A window like this will appear, in which we press the button Save(to save the download file to your computer):
In the next window, select the location on the hard drive where we will save our file (I have this folder IE on the desktop):
Now click on the file icon to start the installation process. In the window that appears, agree with the installation by pressing the button Install:
After that, just wait until the installation is complete:
When the installation is completed, we will be prompted to restart the computer to make changes. We perform a reboot (observing at system startup how changes are made to the operating system settings) and launch the updated IE 9 browser.
As you can see, everything is very simple!
Now, by the same principle, you can update any other browser, as well as most of the programs that you use daily in your computer activities.
But keep in mind that this update method is only suitable for free or purchased programs, so if you are using a cracked version licensed program, then it is better not to use such an update. After all, by doing so you will install on top of the hacked program licensed version, which was not paid for, and therefore the program will be limited in features or duration of its use (and a message will appear stating that your program is not registered).
In addition, remember that new is not always better than the old - sometimes a version that has been tested for years works more stable than a hastily released “raw” version, so before updating an important program for you, ask on the forums about the reliability of its new version.
Hello dear visitors. In this tutorial, I'll show you a couple of ways to update all the programs on your computer quickly and easily.
Some users will ask me a question, Why update software at all?? Everything is very simple.
Fixed in new versions various errors and new features are coming. Therefore, I do not see anything wrong with the new versions! On the contrary, if an update has appeared, then the developers have done a good job!
You can update programs on your computer either manually, by opening each one individually, or automatically using special program. Let's take a look at both!

But they ignored one small factor that sometimes speeds it up at times. Yes, and traffic eats. This is an automatic app update. As soon as your phone or tablet connects to the Internet, all the software installed on it breaks into the network and downloads, downloads, downloads.
If auto-update is disabled, other incidents are possible. For example, you are waiting for a letter/message/notification, but there is none, because obsolete program can't get it. Is it time to take control of this process into your own hands? Let's talk about how to enable, disable and configure automatic app updates on Android and iOS.
Android software update setup
On Android, the function of auto-updating programs through Google Play Store enabled by default and only activated when connected to WiFi networks. On the one hand, this is correct, since expensive 3G / 4G traffic is not consumed, but on the other hand, it is not safe. If you connect to public network without protection, for example, with the help, then you risk personal data, which at this time can be intercepted.
To change the settings for checking and downloading app updates via Google Play, do the following:
- Launch the Market and go to its settings.
- Open the " Auto-update apps».
- Check the desired auto-update option: " Only byWi-fi», « Any network" or " Never" and press " Ready».
By the way, even if this feature is disabled, you will still be able to check and install software updates manually. To do this, go through google settings Play in " My apps and games”, open the tab “ Updates” and tap the rounded arrow circled in the screenshot below. Near the programs and games for which the latest version has been released, the buttons " Refresh».
There is an auto-update feature in alternative stores Software and content for Android, in particular in F-Droid. Its parameters are also set in the settings section, and there are even more of them in F-Droid than in Google Play.
In particular, there are following settings updates:
- Interval between settings (from hourly to never).
- Check when connecting to Wi-Fi. Options: use always, use only for loading, do not use at all.
- Check when connecting to mobile network. The options are the same.
- Download and install in background showing notifications.
- Release notifications and version history.
To check and install updates manually, tap the " Updates» in the bottom panel of F-Droid. Software for which new versions have been released will appear on the screen as a list. Near each of the programs there will be a button " Refresh»
To install automatic software updates from F-Droid and other third-party markets, do not forget to allow unknown sources in the security settings of your Android device.
Automatic and manual software updates in iOS
On the iOS function auto-updates software also enabled by default. But unlike Android, the operating system of iPhones and iPads allows you to customize it for everyone. separate application that supports this feature.
To activate auto-update of all installed software, do the following:
- Launch the settings utility and open " iTunesStore andAppStore».
- In chapter " Automatic downloads » turn on « Programs" and " Updates».
By default, content will only be downloaded when the device is connected to Wi-Fi. If you don't mind downloading "updates" via 3G/4G networks, enable the option " Cellular Data”, which is located below in the same section.
If you intend to prohibit or, conversely, allow only some programs to install updates automatically, open the settings section " Main' and go to ' Content update". Move the sliders to the "off" position next to the applications that should not be updated.
The same function is in individual settings each program that supports receiving "updates".
Manual checking and downloading of iOS software updates is available through content stores App Store and iTunes. To do this through the App Store, just connect the device to the Internet, open the tab " Updates» and click near desired applications button " Refresh».
The iTunes market allows you to update software on iPhone and iPad through a computer. More precisely, it allowed until recently, since it current version– 12.7 no longer supports this feature. To get it back, you'll have to uninstall the latest one and install an older "tuna" release, like 12.6.3, which is fortunately easy to find online.
After launching iTunes, connect to your computer mobile device Apple and sign in to your account. Open the " Programs” and press the button “ Check for updates". The next window will display shortcuts to applications for which fresh versions. Next, just click next to desired label button " Refresh».

Good afternoon dear readers and subscribers of the blog, modern world, where it is already difficult to imagine a device that does not have access to global network Internet, and this is understandable people want to control everything from a computer or phone. To solve this problem, crowds of programmers every day create great amount programs and the same number of programs are simply abandoned or not properly maintained. What I mean is a recent example where due to another security hole in Windows XP or Windows 7, the world was shocked by the new WonnaCry virus. Every day hackers find holes in software products and the question is how to implement automatic software updates, of which there are a lot, how to follow this. Agree that doing it manually is very time consuming and people often forget about it, and it's understandable that they don't always have enough time for other things. Today I will try to help you with this and keep your computer safe somehow more securely.
Auto update windows 10 programs with SUMo
It is logical that someone has already thought about this and asked the same question that there should be a service automatic update programs that run either on a schedule or manually and check what is installed on the system and compare it with the latest available versions programs. Today I want to talk about Software utility Update Monitor.
Software Updates Monitor is free utility designed to monitor the software, has portable version and Russian, which is very nice. You can download SUMo from the link
http://www.kcsoftwares.com/?sumo
Click the Download button.
I would like to advise you to download portable version, as it won't hold back additional sponsored software
At the very bottom, click the archive icon, it is highlighted in red circle.
When you first start Software Updates Monitor, it automatically scans your Windows 10 or another version, this is done in order to find all the utilities present on the computer in the Windows registry.
the process itself takes a minute on the strength, but it all depends on your disk or SSD.
Once Software Updates Monitor finds all the software, I advise you to go into the settings and see what is there in order to customize everything for yourself.
- Loading at startup > in Russian this is, if you want the utility to always be on the alert and you don’t feel sorry for a few resources, then I advise you to install it.
- Check for SUMo updates at startup > necessary to keep the utility itself up to date
- Check for updates at startup > if you want a full automatic update of programs on your computer, then leave it, I personally don’t install it, it’s enough for me once a week to run and check it myself.
- Update Microsoft products> you can put, will be loaded windows updates and additional products.
- Other non-essential settings
And so, as a result of the scan, you will receive a summary list of software. It is marked in red that it is desirable to update, since these utilities are very outdated. Less critical versions in yellow, actual ones in green.
How is the update, here is the algorithm. After scanning, you choose desired program, in my example it will be 7Zip. Click "Update". You will be redirected to a site where you will download the latest stable version.
Personally, I can still advise on my own, try to open the desired program and see if it offers to update, most often it has such functions, but many turn them off
Please note that by default the Download button will take you to the utility store, we don’t need it to buy, just above the button there is always a link to the official website of the program, in my example it is igor Pavlov and the link on the web button, there you will download &Zip, I think you understand the principle.
This utility will help you to know about exit latest versions programs installed in your operating system, I advise you to take it into service.
