If you're reading this, you've probably had a message on your computer to say there's a mandatory update.
Don't worry - this is a legitimate message from the C+K IT Team. And it means you need to update your computer!
How to Update Your Computer
The quickest way to solve this is as follows:
First, open your Start Menu, and type 'update'. There will be an option to 'Check for Updates'. Open this.
You will see a window which explains which updates you're missing. There will likely be the option to 'Restart and Update'. Please select this to update your computer.
What happens if I don't update?
Regulations require the business to comply with strict security standards, and a large part of this is to ensure our devices are up-to-date. With this in mind, if your computer is found to be on a version of Windows that is no longer supported (or "end of life"), you will be unable to access most systems provided by C+K. This includes all Office 365 services.
We give you the option to update at your convenience, and by default, we have set computers to automatically update outside of standard working hours. You will also receive notifications in plenty of time to allow you to save and close your work before updating.
However, if your computer has not been updated in a long time, our systems will attempt to install updates as soon as possible, which may interrupt your workflow.
