Monthly reminder of required device updates
As a reminder, IT will be initiating OS and software updates on all university-owned Macs, PCs, and iPads. Regular and timely updates are crucial and required to ensure stability, security, and optimal performance. This will be a continuous ongoing effort.
Important Details:
- You may see a pop-up indicating that updates are ready.
- Updates can be done immediately or delayed for a short time, after which they are required and a restart will be forced.
- Do not power your computer off when installing an update.
During the update process, your device may:
- Display warning messages or notifications
- You may be asked to restart to apply the updates
- These updates may take up to 60 minutes to finish. Please plan accordingly by starting these processes when away from your computer or doing other tasks.
Once the updates are complete, your device will be restored to its normal state.
