Your business\u2019s Windows updates might be failing because of this one simple thing\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

A huge number of Windows devices aren\u2019t up-to-date. Your business might have some, even if you\u2019re regularly running security updates. Are you missing this vital step?<\/p>\n

Microsoft\u2019s just released a piece of information that might explain why your Windows machine is STILL out-of-date\u2026 despite all your care.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s best practice to run updates as soon as possible on every machine across your business. If you already do this, you can give yourself a high five.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a but\u2026 according to Microsoft, an enormous number of Windows PCs aren\u2019t up-to-date.
\nSo, what\u2019s happening? Is it just staff clicking the \u2018later\u2019 button when they get the update notifications?
\nYes, that may account for some of it. Updates can be time-consuming and sometimes people need to get on with their work. Though we certainly don\u2019t condone this behavior we do understand it.<\/p>\n

Technical problems with updates may account for some of these out-of-date PCs, too.
\nBut the majority of update issues are coming from something else entirely\u2026 it turns out that Windows machines need to be connected to the internet for a very long time for updates to work properly.<\/p>\n

Microsoft\u2019s recently explained that when an update is installed, a device must remain on and connected to Windows Update for a minimum of two consecutive hours, and six hours in total. That gives your device time to successfully download the update and install it.<\/p>\n

The best way to make sure all your devices are successfully updated every time is to insist that your team leave their devices powered on and connected overnight.<\/p>\n

This may also mean that you have to check your Power Management settings, to stop your devices from going into hibernation mode or deep sleep too quickly.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like any help checking these settings, and that all of your devices are running the latest security updates, just get in touch<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
