Update Silverlight: How to bring it up to date
You can always download the latest version of Silverlight from CHIP free of charge at any time. After extracting the file, install the program. However, it is easier if you make the update settings directly in Silverlight.
- First, go to Silverlight. To do this, right-click on the Windows start menu icon. After selecting "Search", enter "Silverlight".
- Then go to the "Updates" tab in the "Microsoft Silverlight Configuration" menu. There are several options available for upgrading Silverlight.
- If you opt for "Install updates automatically", the update runs quietly and quietly in the background and you will not notice anything.
- If you prefer to start the update manually, choose the second option: "Check for updates, but ask before downloading and installing".
- If you select this option, you will always be informed about an update from Silverlight and can then download the update.
