Microsoft updates

Each month, the Service Desk deploys important updates that provides necessary – and sometimes critical – fixes to known issues with Microsoft products. Known as patches, these fixes are crucial in maintaining a reliable and secure system.

For University Information Services, the Service Desk deploys these updates on the third Saturday of each month, ready to install starting at 6:00 am by restarting your device. Installation is required by 6:00 pm the next day (Sunday).

For the rest of System Administration, the Service Desk deploys these updates the following Friday, ready to be installed starting at noon that day by restarting your device. Installation is required by noon the following Tuesday.

It is important to note that you must restart your computer in order for these updates to install. No action by that deadline will result in an automatic install, forcing your device to shut down. We recommend all users restart their devices prior to that deadline in order to avoid risking losing any unsaved information or being kicked out of a meeting due to the forced restart.
