      FAQs

      How do I update programs on my computer?

      You can set up a program updating schedule and reminder system for yourself, then check all your software for available updates. Or, you can download Avast One for free and take advantage of the PC software version updater it comes with. In just two clicks, it will scan for the latest versions and update your programs automatically.

      What does Software Updater do?

      The Software Updater tool is part of Avast One’s comprehensive security and privacy solution, and it lets you scan for and update all your programs at once from one convenient dashboard.

      Does Windows 10 have a software updater?

      By default, Windows 10 automatically updates your operating system. It’s good to leave this setting as is, because software updates can close security holes and improve performance. You can also choose to update all your apps at once with free Avast One. The built-in Software Updater tool scans for software updates on your PC and downloads them for you.

      How do I update my Windows 10 software?

      To manually update your Windows 10 software, select Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Check for updates. If you want to update all your apps at once, download Avast One — it has a built-in program updater to scan and download the latest versions of your apps with just a couple of clicks.

      How can I update system software?

      Your system software is your operating system (OS), like Windows or macOS. Depending on your settings, it either updates automatically or notifies you when a new update is available. It’s important to keep your system updated to patch security vulnerabilities and protect against different types of hackers and malware like trojans and spyware.
