How to Check for Updates in Windows 8

My computer, which runs Windows 8, hasn’t notified me about an update in quite some time. Although my computer seems to be running fine, I want to check manually to see if any new updates are available so I can keep things secure and stable. How can I check for updates manually in Windows 8?”

Thanks to the addition of the new Charms menu, Windows 8 gives you a new way to check for updates manually in addition to the old method of checking via the Windows Update utility. Both methods are very quick and can give you a fully updated computer in a matter of minutes. One of the greatest things I’ve noticed about Windows 8 is that many of the updates seem not to require a restart; to date, I have installed 16 updates for the Windows 8 Consumer Preview, and not a single one has required a restart.
