To improve security and keep devices up to date, ITS staff are changing how Windows updates are installed on University-issued computers.
Starting this Thursday, August 17, Windows updates will automatically install after 5 p.m. If a restart is needed, you’ll have one week to complete it.
This change shortens the update window from 28 days to just 7, helping ensure devices stay secure with less user effort. Most updates won’t require a restart so you may not notice any difference, but when you do, the process should be smoother and more seamless.
If you have questions or concerns about this change, contact the ITS Support Center for help by visiting service.drake.edu/its, calling 515-271-3001, or visiting the lower level of Carnegie Hall.
