Windows 10: Is there a way to test run updates before full on application

Is there a way to test run an update, to check for corrupted files, etc., and fixing any discrepencies, before update I'd applied. I should think 3-5 days would be sufficient time to make any necessary corrections, run another test run, check the report, again, if no problems arise then run the update. Obviously there isn't any "test-run" performed. Logically speaking, this should be taken into consideration.

I`m looking for an application to test if my CPU is working properly. Any suggestions, guys? *Smile

You can stress test your CPU with AIDA64 Home | AIDA64

OCCT is one of my favorite because its covers a gamut of tests for your CPU and system. Generally my baseline stability test and it's damn good at what it does. Used it for years with excellent success in stability testing and diagnostics. Do note that if your PC is joined to a domain you'll have to buy a license...otherwise it's free.

Everyone has their own flavor of testing...I prefer OCCT and have used it on dozens of builds and deployments...systems I build and validate stability with OCCT when tuning don't come back until something fails. Granted there's more to building and tuning than a single stress test application...it's a vital step IMHO.

My final test is a 6+hr run of the PSU test. This verifies a lot about a build...power consumption, heat output and handling, voltage and system stability, noise under load, etc.

Again we all have methods and any of them are good...I'd suggest you try out what interests you most and see if it works for you or not.

There's Prime95, Asus ROG Realbench, AIDA64, Intel XTU, 3Dmark, Intel Burn Test, etc..etc..etc. Loads of good info out there and experienced members here!
