Is it important to update programs?

Question

Is it really important to update Windows Media Player or any other program? And what would happen if I didn't do it?

Answer 1

The choice is yours whether to update an application or not but updates are recommended because they can fix problems with the software, bring new features, enhance compatibility and functionality, etc.

Even if you choose not to update the software, nothing will happen because in most cases the updates are purely optional.
