How to Update System Security and Install Windows Updates

The management console contains the latest Windows updates available at shipment time. Continue the maintenance of installing Windows updates and the latest anti-virus software. Because of varying security and administration policies, Microsoft’s Automatic Update feature is disabled. Follow these steps to enable automatic update:

1. Enable Automatic Update through the Windows Control Panel.
2. Select the Notify me but do not automatically download or install any updates option. This option prevents automatic installation of an update that causes system instability.
3. Install important Microsoft updates. Do not install recommended or driver updates.
4. Reboot the server after you apply an update. If a third-party management system manages your updates, make the system automatically reboot after applying updates.
