Microsoft Releases the June 2016 Update Rollup for Windows 7 SP1

Microsoft has released a new update rollup for Windows 7 users that brings an important pack of improvements to computers still running this OS version – according to third-party stats, Windows 7 continues to be used on some 45 percent of the PCs out there.

The June 2016 update rollup for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 includes fixes and performance improvements, so it doesn’t bring any new security patches. These continue to be part of the Patch Tuesday rollout taking place on the second Tuesday of each month.

Microsoft announced in May this year that it would start rolling out update packs for Windows 7 every month, thus making it easier for computers running this version to remain up to date and get the very latest improvements.

“These fixes will be available through Windows Update, WSUS, and SCCM as well as the Microsoft Update catalog. We hope this monthly rollup update simplifies your process of keeping Windows 7, and 8.1 up-to-date,” Microsoft said when announcing its new update rollup plan.
