Employees and students who are using a UNC computer while working on campus need-not worry about checking for updates. Computers have been configured to check for updates when they are connected to UNC's WiFi. 

However, when working remotely, it is imperative employees and students check for updates periodically to ensure UNC computers continue to function properly. 

Check for Updates

  • Windows Updates

    For employees using computers running Windows 10, please follow these steps:

    • Select the Start button (Microsoft icon in the bottom right corner of the screen)
    • Go to Settings (gear icon)
    • Go to Update & Security
    • Click on Check online for updates from Microsoft

    This will start the update process for your computer. 

    *If you do not have the "Check online for updates from Microsoft" option, or your updates stall at 0%, you will need to complete the extended process. 

    Windows Updates - Extended Directions
