Tech tip: Windows Updates

Keeping current with all Windows updates can help prevent issues like Outlook crashing to audio/video issues when using Zoom. To see the version of Windows your desktop or laptop is on, go to Settings > System > About.  MCC computers should be on Windows 11 - Version 25H2.

To check that your device is up to date, open  Start > Settings > Windows Update and see your update status and available updates. The display may show “You’re up to date.” 

    If there are installs pending, check to Install them. Updates can take some time, so we recommend starting updates at the end of your workday (just lock your desktop when you leave--press Windows key plus L) and check to see if there are additional updates (they load sequentially) to install on the next day.

    In addition to Windows Update, ThinkPad users should also check for updates in Lenovo Vantage: 

    • Open Lenovo Vantage 
    • On the Home page, click Check for Updates (upper right) 
    • Review update status (shown in the lower right) 
    • Follow the on-screen prompts to install updates 

    If you do not see Lenovo Vantage installed on your Lenovo laptop or have any other questions, please contact Employee Technical Support for assistance at 585-292-8324, option 3, Monday thru Friday, 8:45am to 4:45pm.

    This is part of our Twelve days of Holiday Season in the Tech World series! Look for another tip tomorrow!
