A friend has a laptop running Win 10 Home that he seldom uses; consequently, his laptop is turned off most of the time. He does have a local wifi network in his home.

Is Microsoft still able to download Win 10 updates even though his laptop is turned off? If so, will Microsoft install these updates when the laptop is turned off and then wait to do a Restart once the laptop is turned back on?

This has never been an issue for me because my desktop stays on 24/7, so I couldn't answer his question. Thanks in advance.........

If the system is off updates will not happen. Once the system is on they will then start.

Thanks, Jay. That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure and I didn't want to mislead my friend.
