Thank you very much for your cooperation as we attempt to maintain a secure and trouble free computing environment for the campus community.

Please remember these updates can possibly change settings, change the way applications run, and in some situations actually cause software or hardware to not perform correctly.

*Software Update may need to be ran more than one time to install all of the necessary updates. This may take several minutes and will utilize most of your computers resources, so please do not attempt to do other functions while Software Updates is running.
