Forced Computer Restarts
CEDWW ICT will soon be implementing forced restarts of all CEDWW computers. This is part of CEDWW's responsibility to maintain all Organisational devices for CEDWW and Primary Schools. Secondary Schools may have their own schedule.
These forced restarts will occur at least every 7 days, and at other times as bigger updates are required.
At the due time, staff will receive a notification on their computer asking them to kick of the restart within a certain time period.
Computer's need to be restarted regularly in order to install any waiting updates. We recommend at least once a week.
Ever hear the phrase, 'Have you tried turning it off and back on again?'
This is a classic ICT trick that ensures at the very least, your computer has been through the process to retrieve any operating system and software updates pushed out to it.
Doing this regularly should reduce issues caused by not keeping your computer up to date.
