From 14 November: Update Windows 11 on your laptop

11 November 2024

Do you work with Windows 11? If so, then you will soon be notified of an update of Windows 11. You can select a time for this new version to be installed on your device, so that the update will not interfere with your work.

From 14 November, an update for Windows 11 become available for your laptop. From 14 November onwards, you will see a notification about the Windows update when you close your laptop, asking if the update should be installed. This update provides, among other things, smarter energy management and better privacy settings. 

You can select when you wish to install the update. The update can take 30 to 60 minutes, and during that time you cannot use your laptop. So, choose a time for the update when you do not need your laptop for the next hour. Do not switch off your device, and make sure that it is fully charged (connect your device to the electricity network).

You can delay the update, if you need to, for up to three weeks. After that, the update will be automatically installed. For more information on the update and about settings changes that you may wish to reconfigure, go to the helpdesk portal KI 4572.

Was your laptop upgraded very recently, i.e. after 31 October? Or does your laptop still need to be upgraded to Windows 11? In that case, the newest version will be automatically installed. You don’t need to take any action.
