How to perform Windows Updates
Your college owned Windows computer will now automatically detect and download the available quality and feature updates and install them silently in the background. Once these updates are installed, a computer restart is needed to finish the installation:
Now that the monthly update has downloaded and installed on your Windows computer, you will see a notification about a restart deadline being set by your organization.
...
From this window, you may choose to Pick a time to schedule your restart, Restart tonight, or Restart now
If you choose to ignore the prompt above, as you get closer to the deadline, the notifications will change and will increase in frequency

If you have not restarted by the deadline, your computer will automatically restart on your behalf
| Warning |
|---|
The automatic restart cannot be delayed or cancelled once initiated by the deadline being overdue. To prevent disruption, we highly recommend restarting your machine prior to the deadline at a convenient time of your choosing. |
