Beginning on March 18th, ITS will resume sending out Windows software updates and security patches which include software patches designed to plug security holes and keep your computer safe from intrusion. Updates had been paused while we improved the capabilities of the update server. All University-owned computers that are managed by ITS running Windows 7 and newer will be receiving these updates.

These updates will download automatically while on Denison’s network, without interrupting your work. However, a computer restart may be required to complete some of the installations. As a result, Windows computers will experience a longer-than-normal startup time on the next reboot subsequent to receiving these updates. (Note: campus labs and e-classrooms are configured to automatically reboot every night at 4am, so as to minimize this disruption)

These scheduled updates are only for security fixes, they do not include feature updates or other changes to usability.

 

Please contact the ITS Help Desk at helpdesk@denison.edu or (740)-587-6395 if you have any questions or concerns.
