\"Windows[German<\/a>]Microsoft will change how Security-only rollup updates for Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1 and corresponding server versions are delivered. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In a Technet blog post Simplified servicing for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1: the latest improvements<\/a>, Nathan Meyer from Microsoft detailed further changes in Windows Updates. The changes of servicing model are for Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2012 R2.
