Patches Coming to All SLU Windows Desktops

07/26/2018

All University-managed desktops with Microsoft Windows will receive their July 2018 patches on Tuesday, July 31.

The patches, from Microsoft, will be deployed to desktops at 8 a.m. and will install automatically without user action or pop-up notifications unless patches require closing a specific application. If an application must be closed, users will be prompted to do so before the patch can proceed.

Users will receive a pop-up notification asking them to restart after the patch installation. Users are asked to reboot desktops after receiving the message to ensure the patches apply successfully.
