Important notice: Windows updates

Before installing System Platform, 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 System Platform. 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 System Platform components, including Application Server and OMI during installation, upgrade, configuration, and run-time operations. These updates may cause the Integrated Development Environment (IDE), Galaxy Repository (GR), OMI web client and related components, and other services to shut down unexpectedly. Therefore, we recommend that you disable automatic Windows updates, or otherwise ensure the updates will be installed only when System Platform applications are not being actively used.
