Reminder from IT: Colleagues required regularly restart or shut down devices

To maintain security, performance, and reliability, all staff are required to regularly restart or shutdown their device

Devices that are left on continuously can:

• Delay or prevent important security updates from completing
• Experience reduced performance over time
• Become more prone to errors and instability
• Prevent new updates from installing, as previous updates are still waiting for a restart

Like anything you use daily, your device performs best when it’s occasionally switched off and refreshed.

All devices must be restarted or shut down at least once per week.

If you are finishing work for a few days – including during the upcoming easter school holidays – please ensure your device is shut down before you leave.

Regular restarts or shutdowns help keep systems secure, compliant, and running as expected.

Thank you for your cooperation.
