Checking for updates manually and installing new updates
Instead of (or in addition to) having System Updates check for updates automatically, you
can also use System Updates to check for updates manually from the FACI (if available) or
Remote Desktop.
Whether you check for updates automatically or manually, you can install new updates
from the FACI or Remote Desktop.
Checking for updates manually from the FACI or Remote Desktop
When automatic checking for updates is disabled, you can access the System Updates
through the System Updates icon in the Windows taskbar. This icon is also visible when
new updates are available for installation.
