Updating the software is necessary for the correct operation of programs, the security of the computer from possible viruses from the Internet, and simply for the operability of some system applications, which may become outdated due to a long update.
Instructions
Step 1
Some programs need to be updated automatically using an Internet connection. The fact is that this software, in particular: antiviruses, firewalls, are sometimes updated several times a day. Undoubtedly, updating your security software is necessary to keep your computer safe. And if you postpone this business, there can be big problems for the operating system.
Step 2
It is also recommended to update the operating system, especially if you have Windows XP. A long non-update thereof can be the cause of many system errors. Because older versions conflict with modern apps. Some programs / games recently even require the mandatory installation of Windows XP Service pack 3. Unfortunately, all programs do not give this effect, and therefore, in other cases, instead of a warning, the program may not work or work incorrectly. For this, of course, it is advisable to install an automatic system update. As a last resort, download it from official sources.
Step 3
For the correct operation of many Internet applications, you should periodically update the Flash Player (follow the link - https://get.adobe.com/ru/flashplayer/). And along with it DirectX (if there is a new version), and possibly drivers for components. But often it is not necessary to update them, you can just check the updates for the video card, motherboard once a year
Step 4
If the programs no longer offer updates, then most likely their term has come to an end, these versions are simply no longer supported by the manufacturer. This situation can be corrected only by uninstalling the program and installing a new version. But if there is a new version, and the old one is still being updated, such an action is optional.
