Tuesday Tips: Nothing much today

OK, so I'm changing the name of my weekly blogpost to Tuesday Tips!

Instead of Tuesday Technology Tidbits.

And, of course...this week... I'm super busy, and haven't had much time to sit and write anything.

However...here's a good reminder....

Run windows update when you shut down your computer.

You know how, you're working along and see this warning?

You don't have to immediately shutdown and restart the computer...but as soon as you can.

Updates are little "fixes" that microsoft makes to it's programming to help windows run smoother, prevent viruses, that kind of stuff.

When you go to shutdown your computer...if there are updates that need to be installed, you will see an exclamation point on the shutdown screen...

When you see this, you need to be patient, and allow windows to install the updates before it shuts down...If you close the lid, and unplug it while these are still running...depending on the update, you could actually hurt your machine...because if an update is partially installed...it could be damaging to have it stop in the middle.
