Software and operating system updates can sometimes be inconvenient, but they are absolutely essential for maintaining the security of your computer and the Simmons network. Simmons Technology manages updates on all Simmons computers. Typically, updates are pushed out during the third week of each month. While this process is mostly automated, we need your help to ensure that the updates complete.

Windows

When you see a Window prompting you to restart your computer, please do so as soon as possible. The updates will not be fully applied until your computer reboots.  For more information, see our Knowledge article Windows Software Updates. 

macOS

When an update is ready, you will see a Simmons branded “Upgrading macOS” window. Make sure to follow the prompts and enter your standard Simmons username and password when prompted. For more information, see our Knowledge article macOS Software Updates.
