Install Windows Updates

Schedule Your Windows Updates

Technology Services encourages you to reboot to apply the latest Microsoft patches that will keep your system up to date. These Microsoft updates will fix newly discovered security issues and enhance functionality. It is important that you reboot your PC to apply these patches.

However, the new updates may take a long time to apply - in some cases about 2 hours. Plan ahead and take time to schedule your reboot for a period of time when you won't be using your computer, such as at the end of the day. This will prevent disruption to your work.

How to Schedule Your Update

You can schedule a restart by clicking on the update icon in the lower right-hand corner (in the system tray) and selecting Schedule restart. Or...

You can schedule updates by clicking on the start button and going to Settings. In Settings click on Update & Security. Now you should be in Windows Update. Under the listed updates click on the words Schedule the restart and choose a time that's convenient for you.

If you have any questions please contact the Technology Support Desk, extension 8324, option 3.
