Library Strategic Technologies has been getting recent questions about Windows updates and what to do. The reason you are getting more requests to restart for updates is because EIT changed the way in which the Libraries receive Windows updates. Normally, Strat-Tech would run these patches on a weekend when no one is working. Now the patches will try to run as soon as Microsoft releases them.  The ‘pending’ updates are ones that most likely are waiting on a restart or another update to install first.  Please keep your machine update-to-date and install the patches if prompted, but please feel free to schedule them when its best for you if you have that option.  Also, please keep in mind that borrowed laptops will also receive these updates.
