Changes to macOS Software Update Notifications
What is happening?
A new Mac computer notification system will be implemented to notify users of macOS updates that are available.
A new pop-up will appear on Macs that are not up to date. Below is an example of what this new notification system looks like.
Change of Windows Update Processes
What is happening?
To improve security, campus has adopted a new mechanism for how Windows Updates are delivered to your computer. Previously, updates were sent to your machine each month via Software Center and the machine would notify you that updates were pending and installing. This is changing over to a new service that leverages Windows Update rather than Software Center.
Below are examples of the new notifications given to end users to make it as easy as possible to comply to the security requirements to be patched and updated.
