US EditionMicrosoft Asks: What if Windows Could Update All Your Software at Once?
- Microsoft recently unveiled a new Windows Update orchestration platform that centralizes application updates on Windows 11 through Windows Update.

- This initiative may set a new standard for Windows app lifecycle management by simplifying updates, though early feedback describes it as a complex, Microsoft-specific solution still in preview.
