When there's an update available a little thingy pops up in the upper-righthand corner of the windows informing me about it. I just click on it and the installation is done automatically. I don't use windows since it's way too complicated for an old geezer like myself ;) so maybe windows doesn't have this feature. You can also find it in the help menu where there's an item called "Check for updates". It also lets you know if there are updates for your extensions.
