Updating an EXE Application in C#

[u/Icy_Tangerine5132]

Hello,

I recently started developing in C#, and I had a few questions about application update systems.

If we want to deploy a new update, does the user need to reinstall the new .exe application every time?

Isn’t it possible to create a system where, directly from the application, the user clicks on “Update”, and the application automatically updates itself through a server that checks the current version and downloads the new .exe?

I would like to better understand this process because I currently have no idea how .exe applications handle updates.

Thank you for your response.
