Microsoft Update for Windows 8 in 2024!

Hey everyone! My name is Adam, and in today's video, I will be showing you how to revive the Microsoft Update feature, in Windows Update, In Windows 8!
Microsoft Update was a piece of software that was integrated to Windows Update, so you could receive updates for Microsoft related software.
After Microsoft changed the update system to SHA-2 only, receiving updates for older Windows Operating systems was tough. Microsoft made it harder to access the Microsoft Update pages and it was almost impossible so users thought that it was lost forever.
But today, I will be showing you how to revive Microsoft Update, so you can receive updates for Microsoft related software like Microsoft Office, Microsoft Security Essentials, and Microsoft Visual Studio!
Prerequisites
Your Windows 8 system just needs to have the Automatic Updates feature working in order for this to work.

Thank you for your detailed tutorial. All went quite smoothly and got almost 200 updates! Was wondering after these updates do we need to undo what we did to the security part? Or can just leave it as it is to wait for any future updates if there is any? I don't know..

You're welcome! You can leave it as is, and wait for any future updates. Windows 8 ended support in 2016 so there have been no more security updates released for the operating system since then, but if you have other Microsoft softwares installed on your computer such as Microsoft Office or Microsoft Security Essentials, then you might receive updates for those softwares from Windows Update until those softwares go out of support. Hope that helps!
