About this tag
The convenience update tag on WindowsForum.com refers to Microsoft's one-time convenience roll-up for Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1. This rollup, released around April 2016, consolidates security updates, non-security updates, and hotfixes issued since SP1, totaling over 1,000 updates.
