Which update type makes repairs to a computer during its normal operation so that the computer can continue to operate until a permanent repair can be made?
- A hotfix makes repairs to a computer during its normal operation so that the computer can continue to operate until a permanent repair can be made. It usually involves replacing files with an updated version. A hotfix can also be referred to as a bug fix.
A service pack or support pack is a comprehensive set of fixes combined into a single product. Service packs generally include all hotfixes and patches. A support pack is another term used for service packs.
Patches are temporary fixes to a program. Once more data is known about an issue, a service pack or hotfix may be issued to fix the problem on a larger scale.
