Find out about patch management policy
Software companies often download a security patch to their operating systems in this manner. A "hot" security patch downloads without shutting down and restarting a computer. In the corporate environment, administrators prefer to exercise control over the installation of a security patch rather than allow unlimited access to their networks for automated patch downloads. Administrators also prefer to delay patch applications until they have had the opportunity to test patch stability. Consumers primarily go for automated security patch downloads.
