Want an easy way to keep your Harding computer running smoothly?  Sign out but leave your computer running at the end of the day.

One of the things that IS&T does to keep our computers safe and up to date is to install updates over the weekend and at night mid-week.  The issue is that you have to leave your computer running in order to get the updates.  Also, these updates often require a restart to complete installation.  If you sign out of your computer at the end of the work day, the restart will happen automatically during the night.  If you forget to sign out then simply use the restart option on Monday and Thursday mornings to assure that your computer has all of the necessary updates.

By the way, If you see a message on your computer from Kaseya or Lenovo Commercial Vantage don't be alarmed.  Those are two of the tools that we use to keep computers up to date.
