Microsoft, the creator of Windows 10, is not releasing updates the same way they have in the past. In Windows 10, Microsoft has decided to release large 'Feature' upgrades/updates alongside the regular, small monthly updates. Unlike the monthly updates, these large 'Feature' updates are not released very frequently. Microsoft only sends two of them out per year.

ITS is releasing this year's 'Feature' update at the beginning of MarchJanuary. This update will not install on its own though and will only start when you specifically choose to do so. Because of the size of this update, we wanted to make it so that you can control when it will start. This full guide explains how to start the update, but in brief, you manually click install, and then the process will begin. We highly recommend starting the installation at the end of the day and then letting it run so that it will have completed when you use the computer the next morning.
There will be two four months in which the update is available for installation and then at the end of that timeframe, the update will install automatically. The specific deadline for user-controlled installation is May 4th11th. To reiterate: From the start beginning of March January you will be able to choose when the update is installed by following the instructions below but if it has not been installed by May 4th 11th the update will automatically start on your computer. Any computers that fail to transition one month from the designated automatic update date will become a security threat and will be removed from MVNU’s domain, which will prevent anyone from using the computer on campus without involving ITS. Once removed from the domain, ITS will need a day to reconnect and update the computer to the latest version.

Once the update is complete you will see the normal Windows login screen. You are then free to log into your PC and use it like as normal.
