service packs
Bundled system fixes
Service packs are bundled software updates that collect bug fixes, security patches, and improvements into a single installation.
Common in the Windows era, they let users update systems comprehensively rather than downloading dozens of individual patches: We need to install Service Pack 2 before the new software will run.
The term has faded as operating systems shifted to continuous automatic updates.
