The History of the Website

In 1998, Microsoft released Windows 98, the successor to Windows 95. Notably, Windows 98 was the first operating system to feature Windows Update, accessible from the top of the Start Menu. In late 1998, the original Windows Update website was upgraded to what became known as Windows Update Restored v2, serving as the predecessor to Windows Update v3.0/3.1. Both versions shared a similar user interface and design, although Windows Update v2 was specifically designed to function with Internet Explorer 4.0, which shipped with Windows 98 First Edition, and was later compatible with Internet Explorer 5.0, 5.5, and 6.0. This update introduced a more user-friendly interface, a new logo, and an enhanced Product Updates Catalog, making it easier for users to find the updates they needed.
