Many updates are doing things like that.
Others take care of the Safety recalls.
Except, unfortunately, Windows' updates often dull the tools instead of sharpening them. My old Latitude D400 run decently under Windows XP SP2 (for awhile it was my only Windows computer -- I dual-booted with Linux). When I "upgraded" to XP SP3, it became a boat anchor. Literally it would still be thrashing the hard drive nearly ten minutes after booting. I'm now running Linux Mint 13 Mate on that computer. It boots in about 50 seconds and is ready to use when it boots.
