Important notice: Windows updates

Before installing AVEVA Batch Management, download and install the latest Microsoft updates to enhance security and ensure product compatibility. Allow the Windows update process to finish before you start installing AVEVA Batch Management. This recommendation applies to all Windows versions.

Note that when Windows updates run in the background, there is the possibility that different software processes can be adversely affected. Therefore, it is important to schedule the updates to run only during planned shutdown periods.

Configure automatic Windows updates

If Windows is configured to update automatically, these automatic updates, when running in the background, can disrupt AVEVA Batch Management components, including: Batch Management server, Batch Management Clients, Batch Historian, and run-time operations. These updates may cause the AVEVA Batch Management services to shutdown unexpectedly. Therefore, we recommend that you disable automatic Windows updates, or otherwise ensure the updates will be installed only when AVEVA Batch Management applications are not being actively used.
