Apple Software Update2.6.3.1

Apple Software Update checks for updates to Apple software used on Microsoft Windows and helps users keep those components current. It addresses the problem of overlooking maintenance updates when Apple applications are used on a Windows computer. The utility is intended for people who want a dedicated Apple-managed way to check the condition of their Windows-based Apple software.

The Microsoft Store provides the latest Windows versions of Apple apps, including iCloud, Apple Music, Apple TV, Apple Devices, and iTunes. Store-managed apps can update automatically, or users can open the Microsoft Store and check for updates manually. On Windows 10 or later running on a PC, Apple directs users to the Microsoft Store for current Apple apps, after which Apple Software Update is no longer part of that update routine.

On a Mac using Windows 10 or later, users should use both the Microsoft Store and Apple Software Update to keep Apple software for Windows current. Apple Inc. publishes the utility for mixed Apple-and-Windows workflows, such as accessing Apple media, device-management, cloud, or entertainment apps from Windows. The current release is version 2.6.3.1, and its x86 architecture targets Windows systems that use that processor architecture.
