How to see the size of a Windows 10 update before installing it

Windows 10

We regularly receive updates on Windows 10. While it is good to receive them, users do not have much control over certain aspects. But there is a way to have more control over it. An important aspect is to know the weight of an update. This data can tell us a lot about it, since if it has a large weight, we know that it will take longer to update.

What is convenient in this case is to know the weight of an update before Windows 10 is going to update. Thus, in case this weight could be a problem, due to lack of space or whatever reason, we can do something about it and not update.

Unfortunately, we do not have a native way of knowing this on the computer. Windows 10 doesn't have a tool for it, but we have a third party option called Windows Update Mini Tool, which fulfills this function that we are looking for. You can download here.

Once installed on the computer, all we have to do is to click on the icon in the taskbar that tells us if there is an update. What this tool is going to do then is show us data about said update. It will show us those that are available and their weight.

In this way, we have this information before Windows 10 proceeds to install said update in the computer. Which is very useful in case we have little space or there is a problem with the computer. We then have the possibility to postpone this update.

As you can see, it is a simple tool, but extremely useful for Windows 10 users. Since this way we can avoid one of the main inconveniences that we have with Windows Update, which does not let us see in advance the weight of an update. We hope it has been useful to you.
