On-Campus
- Monthly Updates
- Should be receiving monthly updates IF powered ON
- Typically require reboots to complete installation
- FSU-ITS/CCS do NOT force reboots
- Servicing Plans (Feature Updates)
- Require one or more reboots to complete installation
- Must be powered ON
Off Campus
- All update types are highly dependent on:
- Internet connection speed from a remote location
- Reboot frequency
- User behavior (short vs long use sessions)
- Whether or not the user accepts the update
- GPO changes, remediations, fixes, etc.
- Rely on-campus network connectivity (LAN and VPN access)
Some situations may call for greater control over the update process; see the Exceptions section for more information.
Over time, CCS will provide additional guidance on what and when to expect with the update process.
Other Software Updates
In addition to Windows operating system updates, our Active Directory system will support certain additional updates, including Office 365 tools and select non-Microsoft applications. Additional information about these updates will be available later.
Please note that updates require your computer to be ON, and many application updates (especially Office) may not complete if the application is running.
