Reminder: ITS is automating the restart process after Drake-owned Windows computers download and install security patches. When it’s time to restart after a patch has been installed, your computer will show you a reminder in the lower right corner of the screen. You have the option to restart immediately or reschedule to a more convenient time within the next two days. If you haven’t restarted your device two days after patches have been applied, your computer will restart automatically between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.

While working from home, the notification and restart process may be slightly delayed, depending on how you connect to the campus network.

If you have any questions about these changes, please reach out to Peter Lundstedt, director, information security & compliance, at peter.lundstedt@drake.edu.
