Windows Updates

TL;DR

Yes

ReviOS is fully compatible with Windows Update since the 23.12 playbook version. Meaning that you can get the latest security patches and feature updates from Microsoft without any issues. Moreover, Windows Update will not be able to reinstall any system components that ReviOS has removed (apart from ads and some Appx packages). You can enjoy the benefits of both ReviOS and Windows Update without compromising your system stability or user experience.

Is Windows Updates disabled?

Windows Update is not disabled entirely. ReviOS pauses Windows Updates by default and disables automatic Updates checking. This way we are able to maintain Microsoft Store, Activation and other Windows services functionality. You can enable Windows Update at any time by using the Revision Tool.
