Desktop and laptop patching from Monday 24 August at 10am

August 24, 2020

The Trust are increasing the patching levels on all computers to help reduce the likelihood of successful cyber-attacks.

  • Informatics will be doing this in four phases over eight weeks, each phase lasts two weeks.
  • When your computer is in its patching phase it will download patches every day and will need rebooting every day for those two weeks.
  • You will be given a message about rebooting allowing you time to finish what you are doing and save your work.
  • You will be allowed to postpone the activity twice a day before it automatically reboots.

Should you experience any issues with your computer/laptop during or after the updates then please contact the 24 hour IT Service Desk on Ext. 4050 or 0121 507 4050 for home workers.
