Once the updates have been installed you will receive a notification stating that the PC needs to be rebooted within the next 7 days, or a reboot will be forced. If you do not reboot it manually, on the 7th day you will receive a further reminder. If you still have not rebooted the device you will receive a "Persistent Notification" (i.e. one that cannot be dismissed) stating that the PC will reboot in one hour if you do not manually reboot it - after one hour the device will reboot itself.

Note: If your device is off for a long time the updates will install as soon as the device is turned on, and you may receive a message that the device will reboot that day, rather than giving you the 7-day grace period.


Why are you doing this?

CSCS are making this change to make it easier for you to keep your device up to date and secure - previously you needed to confirm you wanted to install the updates, which lead to some devices becoming out of date due to lack of use or simply not spotting the notifications. Once this has been implemented devices will automatically install the updates without you needing to worry about it.
