Teach you to patch. Remember to play with yourself when you were a child. You often wear out your clothes and always ask your mother to mend them for you. After entering the third grade of primary school, the school opened a manual class, from which I also learned to patch! After learning computers, I didn't expect computers to be more durable than clothes. I must repair this today and that tomorrow. I always have to patch, and I can't even be distracted. It seems that we need to know about the computer patch and know its ins and outs. First, the classification of patches According to the application attributes, computer patches can be roughly divided into five types: system patches, software patches, game patches, Chinese patches and hardware patches. The following are introduced respectively: (1) system patches, as the name implies, are irregular bug fixes for operating systems, including Microsoft, Unix, Linux and Solaris, and their sizes are also different. The stability of the operating system is related to whether the software programs running in the system are easy to operate illegally in the middle and whether the system is easy to crash during operation. Once the computer crashes, the hard work will be wasted because it is not saved, especially when you enter thousands of words. In this case, you really want to cry. (2) Software patches Software patches are often introduced because of the discovery of small errors in software, which are used to repair individual small errors or enhance a small function. There are also patches released to enhance the ability of files to resist computer virus infection, such as Microsoft's Office patch against macro viruses. In the daily use of computers, we mostly deal directly with the software, and sometimes we may find that the software has bugs. If the software is not patched in time, it may lead to data loss, which is not worth the loss. (3) Game Patches Computer games sometimes fail to run normally because of the version of the operating system. For example, games developed in the Win98 era may not be able to run in Win2000 or WinXP environment; Sometimes conflicts arise because other software is installed, so the game program goes on strike and has to reinstall the game or delete the conflicting software. Game developers will release some game patches, and after patching, the game program can be revived! In addition, games often have language versions. In order to meet their own needs, players will make some patches and release them to the outside world for free download. For example, the classic game Red Alert, some players provide downloads on their own maps. Another example is the football match FIFA. Starting from FIFA98, each edition will provide player-compiled patches for players of China Football League or China National Team. (4) Many softwares are in English, and the English level of China people is generally not high, including the authors. Because of this, many people's interest in learning computers has been affected. In order to occupy the market, software developers provided a Chinese version; In order to facilitate everyone's study, China people who like to work in China made China bags. The appearance of Chinese patches makes it easier for us to learn software! (5) The hardware patch computer is composed of pieces of hardware. Without the support of hardware, there is no use for computers, so hardware is the most basic. But without software, hardware can only be a pile of useless scrap iron. Because the hardware driver is made of software. Therefore, hardware patching is essentially software patching and hardware-driven patching. Doing a good job of hardware patch can enhance the stability of the system, enhance the effect of hardware support and enhance the support for the operating system. For example, the motherboard BIOS, the old version does not support ACPI (Advanced Energy Management), so there will be problems when installing Win2000 and WinXP, or it will not be installed, or it will not automatically turn off the host power after installation. We know the classification of patches, so how to patch them? Let's continue to talk about this problem. 2. Does my computer need patching? Does my computer need patching? I'll sell a pass first. Most people who often download software online know that there are thousands of patches in Qian Qian every day. With software, why are there so many patches? Obviously, there are loopholes, bugs, illegal shutdown, possibility of losing data and vulnerability to attack in the software. Workers who often deal with data value the stability of systems and software most, so they should patch their operating systems in time. Friends who often surf the Internet, in order to avoid malicious attacks and malicious modification of the registry, in addition to installing a firewall, they should also update the version of the firewall in time to make up for the loopholes in the operating system. Also, viruses are everywhere, so we should always be vigilant and pay attention to updating the virus database of anti-virus software. Now the answer is out? ! Third, how to patch 1. Using the software update function If the software provides automatic updates, patching is a very simple matter. Just go to the "Start" menu to find the update command, click the left mouse button, and the computer will automatically connect to the Internet and search official website to see if there is the latest version or patch. For example, Windows Update of Windows operating system. Another example is the download tool Flashget, and there is a command "Check whether there is a new version" in the help menu. 2. Manual patching Most patches need to be downloaded from the developer official website or the software download website first, and then the patching command can be run on this machine. Some patches need to be completed according to certain operation steps, so you must read the patching instructions carefully before patching to avoid irreparable losses caused by mistakes.
