Update a device

Not every device announces its updates. Step-by-step guides: Windows 10 after end of support, how to update AirPods, how to update a Roku, how to update a Samsung TV.

Why updates matter

An update’s release notes tell attackers exactly what was broken. From that moment, every device still on the old version is a known target, so the gap between a release and installing it is when most people get caught. Turning on automatic updates closes that gap without you having to read about each one.
