ITS has released a number of Windows updates to faculty/staff computers. Your computer should check for those overnight at 3AM or the next time you turn your computer on after that. It will automatically download the updates but will not apply them until you shut down or restart your computer. You will be able to tell that updates are waiting to be installed because the options that you see when you click the Start button and select “Power” will change from “Restart” to “Restart and Update” and from “Shutdown” to “Update and Shutdown”. While it may vary by computer based on pending updates, ITS anticipates that the update process should take about 10 minutes. If you choose “Update and Shutdown”, it will take approximately 5 minutes to install updates upon shutdown and 5 minutes to configure the updates when you turn the computer back on.
If you have any questions, please contact the ITS Help Desk at 740-587-6395 or helpdesk@denison.edu.
On Monday 3/27/17 at 4:30PM, ITS released a command that will check for Apple Software Updates and prompt you to apply them to your computer either now or later. The screen is titled “Management Action” and the dropdown list above the “Submit” button allows you to “Start Now” or select a time interval to delay the updates to a more convenient time if you are in the middle of something and do not want to risk having to restart your computer. While the behavior will vary according to the updates pending for your computer, it likely will take 5-20 minutes for updates to install. If your computer needs to restart, you will receive a notification before the computer restarts giving you a 5-minute warning when the restart will take place.
Mac Update Prompt
ITS strongly encourages you to accept the prompt to update as soon as possible. If updates are not applied by Monday 4/10/17 at 4:30 pm, it will automatically install and restart your computer if the updates require it.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the ITS Help Desk at 740-587-6395 or helpdesk@denison.edu.
