Computers labs restart daily at 6:00 AM
Daily System Reboot Policy
To keep our Windows lab computers running smoothly and securely, they’re automatically restarted every morning at 6:00 AM. This daily reboot helps clear out old user profiles (older than seven days) and makes sure any software updates or installations finish properly. In labs with dual-boot systems, a second reboot happens at 7:00 AM to set the default operating system for the day - so everything’s ready and consistent when you log in.
Teaching support
The Teaching Support Team is responsible for the audio visual equipment in all centrally bookable rooms and spaces. Information about pool space; including building locations, photographs, equipment and features is available to view using the link below
