WORKSTATION PATCHING SCHEDULE UPDATE

Prime Care performs weekly patching on Infinity laptops.  The updates usually happen overnight so as not to interrupt daily work.  Up to now, these patching sessions have been taking place overnight on Thursdays.  This is changing to Wednesdays.

As part of Prime Care’s commitment to workstations being secure and performing at their best, DAS Health applies regular updates to all managed workstations. Below is an overview of what to expect each week.

Weekly Patching Schedule

Wednesdays  1:00 AM – 3:00 PM

Security patches and system updates are automatically installed during this window. You can continue working normally—updates run quietly in the background.

After 3:00 PM

Once patching is complete, you’ll receive a restart prompt with two options:

  • Restart Now – Your computer will reboot immediately
  • Postpone for 2 Hours – Delay the restart and continue working

Example Prompt

Important Details

  • The restart prompt will remain on your screen until you choose an option
  • You may postpone the restart up to three times, in 2‑hour increments
  • If no action is taken within 2 hours, the system will automatically restart
  • Please save your work before the restart occurs

Why This Matters

Regular patching and timely restarts help ensure:

  • Protection against security threats
  • Resolution of known vulnerabilities
  • Improved performance and stability

Devices must be on and connected to the internet. If not online at the time of the update, attempts will be made after the scheduled day and time to update. While Prime Care has taken every precaution to minimize complications during this event, there exists a certain amount of risk and the possibility of extended service disruption.
