"Updates across the Windows ecosystem can feel like a fragmented experience. To solve this, we're building a vision for a unified, intelligent update orchestration platform capable of supporting any update (apps, drivers, etc.) to be orchestrated alongside Windows updates."
The idea is that the orchestration platform will scan for pending updates to your Windows PC's apps and software. Then, Windows would schedule downloads and updates for the optimal time to limit bandwidth spikes and increase eco-efficiency. Right now, however, this is available only to developers and product teams that join the private preview.
This comes as a welcome bit of news to folks out there — perhaps the author of this article — who often forget to download updates and delay the task indefinitely. It would be nice to have that whole hassle done automatically.
