Keysight M9037A PXIe Embedded Controller Startup Guide

Step 4: Review Windows Configuration

Windows Update

The factory default setting for Windows Automatic Updates is to check for 

updates and notify the user if updates are available. It will not automatically 

install updates. This ensures that your M9037A is not modified, unless you 

accept an update.
In “Windows Embedded Standard 7”, you can change the setting or manually 

update the Windows OS by accessing 

Start > Control Panel > Windows update

.

In “Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB”, you can change the setting or manually 

updating the OS by right-clicking 

Start

, click 

Settings

, and then click on 

Update

&

Security

.

Windows Automatic Update is turned off by default. You may 

choose to turn Windows Automatic Update on after starting the 

operating system. However, Keysight cannot be held responsible 

for changes to the system caused by the automatic update 

process. Enabling automatic Windows updates exposes the 

controller to periodic OS changes and possible new system 

behaviors.

Downloading and installing Windows Updates can be network and 

CPU intensive (impacting system performance) and some Windows 

Updates automatically reboot the controller. Therefore, Windows 

updates should be performed when the system is not in normal 

use.

There is no 3rd party anti-virus software included with your 

controller. Anti-virus application software is the customer's 

responsibility. Having anti-virus software installed may have a 

slight impact on system performance.

A Microsoft Windows update might happen without user 

acceptance. The factory image on your Embedded Controller has a 

default configuration set to notify you before downloading and 

installing any updates. However, Microsoft Windows will 

sometimes install updates without notifying the user, even if 

configured to not perform an update. If your application requires 

that Windows does not perform updates, please work with your IT 

department to determine the best solution. They may suggest 

isolating your network or setting up a firewall.
