The UUP procedure ensures a smooth experience and fast downloading of Windows updates. It should be understood in such a manner that many users usually complains about the errors they receive while downloading the update pack and Microsoft wants to remove such experiences. Massive update downloads are creating issues like excess data usage, battery drainage in laptops, work being interrupted etc. Microsoft confirms that UUP would reduce the download size of Windows updates by 35 percent.

The UUP would reduce the amount of data that should be sent to client devices and also it reducing the processing rate of such requests. This would make the Mobile OS increasingly effective, per reports. The mechanism is simple as when the device check for the required Windows updates, the UUP platform cross check and pull the required part towards the particular device.
