If you’re having trouble with your Windows device, please check to see if it is fully updated. Below are guided instructions on how to update your Windows 10 device.


Step 1: Navigate to Your Settings

  •  Click the "Start/Windows" icon on the bottom left of your screen

  • In the left column of the “Menu” that pops up, select the “Settings” icon (looks like a gear)


Step 2: Updates & Security

  • Navigate to the very last item called “Update & Security”


Step 3: Checking for Updates

  • In the “Updates & Security” screen, select “Check for Updates”

  • If you’re up to date, the area just under the “Windows Update” header will say “you’re up to date”

  • If you have pending updates, the list of updates will appear under the “Check for Updates” button

  • If you have updates, select the “Download and Install Now” text to initiate the process.


Note: Depending on the number and size of required updates, this could take a while. You’ll want to make sure the computer is plugged in and has a consistent internet connection (either WiFi or Ethernet). Once completed, restart your computer for the updates to take effect.
