Older versions of Windows rely on a web app for Windows Update rather than a built-in updater like Windows 11 at the time of writing, which is completely dead at the time of writing. Therefore, Microsoft distributed software updates for Windows 95 and Windows 98 on the official website, but this was also deleted in mid-2011.

As a result, applying software updates to older versions of Windows required the use of third-party installers, and even that didn't cover all of the updates that it supports.

In this way, it is an unofficial project 'Windows Update Restored' that independently publishes what has become difficult to obtain software updates from Microsoft official. 'Windows Update Restored' hosts lightly modified software updates that Microsoft has released in the past.
