The majority of campus Windows desktops will have updates sent to them in the next day or so. For security reasons, campus computers are given an installation deadline for monthly patches. The installation deadline this month is Monday, January 29^th at 5:00 PM. On Monday at 5:00 PM, if you have not installed this month’s patches, they will automatically begin installing, and when done, may reboot your computer. If your computer is off at the time of the deadline, updates will begin installing the next time you log in, and when done, may reboot your computer.

 We highly recommend that you install the patches as soon as you are prompted to do so, before the installation deadline. This way, you can be present when the computer needs to restart and you have more control over the restart timing, allowing you to save any open work. If you ignore the update messages you run the risk of updates being applied while you are not present and potentially having your computer restart and possibly even losing unsaved work.

In addition to Microsoft updates, there may be updates for Adobe Flash, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Oracle Java, and other third party applications. These updates will require you to close all your browser windows. Please save any work in your browsers before doing so.

On Tuesday, August 1^st at 8:00 AM ITSS will be deploying new settings to campus Dell desktop computers. These new settings will be enabling a feature called “Auto On”, which will be set to automatically power on computers every Wednesday at 2:00 AM. This feature will ensure computers that are turned off get necessary security patches and updates, as well as the latest virus definitions. Users will not need to do anything for this to take effect, it runs silently and does not require a restart.

We will exclude labs, laptops & servers, as they have different power and scheduling needs.

If you have questions or concerns, please submit a request at support.csuchico.edu or contact IT Support Services.
