Windows as a service is an approach introduced by Microsoft to maintain the operating system.
Instead of releasing a new version of Windows every few years, Windows as a service offers an approach that involves continuous updates and upgrades. These updates come under two categories, namely, feature and quality updates.
When your organization considers feature updates, we add new functionalities to the existing operating system. Quality updates, in contrast, refer to cumulative updates that enhance the reliability of MS Windows. These primarily focus on fixing bugs and improving the stability of the operating systems. While feature updates are released twice every year, quality updates are released every month.
In the case of Windows Services, these are executed automatically when the operating system boots up. However, regular applications run only when the users enter some commands.
Windows Services run in the background, independent of the inputs of the users. These carry out tasks like system maintenance or monitoring without any intervention. But when regular applications are used, the users directly use an interface.
While Windows services run in the background, you will observe only one instance on the device. But regular applications can have many instances if many users are using the same machine.
Whenever Windows services run, the tasks are performed under administration privileges. However, system resources can be used depending on the privileges of the users.
