Microsoft Updates from our WSUS server will be downloaded to computers* every day if there are updates available, provided:.

There are four distinct processes in our automatic updates downloads, installations, notifications, and reboot/delay. We try to set the automated process to cause as little disruption to your work as possible. Even though updates can occasionally be inconvenient to your work schedule, updates are necessary for security and performance and must be performed at some point. The update process can be delayed but not prevented. Because of this, most machines reboot Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning.

Most Microsoft updates come out on Tuesdays and most updates are released in the morning. The second Tuesday of the month is referred to as “Patch Tuesday” because Microsoft attempts to combine the largest updates into this maintenance window. Since we now have added flexibility in delivering updates, we are delivering them on Wednesday mornings at 4:00 a.m. Please note: the timing below has changed for all users whose computers are now managed by SCCM. Without regular updates we risk the vulnerability of our computers to viruses and other hacking attempts or accidental errors.

In order to maintain functionality, performance, and security of Western-owned Windows computers, the university has a regular schedule of delivering Microsoft updates and patches.
