Windows Updates - Did You Know?
On the second Tuesday of each month, Microsoft releases security-related updates for Windows, Office, and related products. It's imperative to keep up on these updates to ensure your computer is safe and the programs you have installed, like Boulevard, run correctly.
The fourth Tuesday of each month is reserved for updates that aren't related to security but still may be helpful to install if you're having issues with your computer (and even sometimes Boulevard).
To ensure your Windows updates are installed, follow the steps below for your operating system.
Windows 11:
Click Check for Updates or select Start > Settings > Windows Update, and then select Check for updates.
Windows 10:
Click Check for Updates or select Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update, and then select Check for updates.
See Update Windows on Microsoft's website for further help checking for Windows updates.
