This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off Receive updates for other Microsoft products when you update Windows in Windows 11.
Windows Update keeps Windows 11 updated by automatically downloading and installing the latest updates, drivers, and hotfixes released by Microsoft.
You can have Windows 11 receive updates for other Microsoft products and software, like Office, when you update Windows.
