IT is deploying the latest Microsoft Security and Critical patches on WPI-owned computers.

For individuals working remotely and connected to the WPI network (likely via the VPN or RAP), please keep the computer powered on to receive the patches overnight. While the updates will become available during the maintenance hours listed, they may not complete during this time. Depending upon your connection; downloads could span a longer time until they are complete.

For IT-managed WPI-Owned Computers on campus, they remain powered on and will receive updates.

IT recommends that everyone prepare for the updates as follows:

  • Save all your work and close all programs.
  • Leave the computer powered on and connected to the WPI Network.

Please anticipate that computers will restart after the update is complete.

For computers not managed by IT, including personal devices, please ensure that you perform the latest operating system updates.
