macOS Ventura update appears today

A Mac laptop computer is shown from the back. It its on a brown desk and a person is typing on it. There person is wearing a dark gold sweater with gold bracelets on the right wrist.

The new macOS Ventura is being pushed to all WVU-owned or -managed computers today (Jan. 3).

Employees will see a prompt to allow the update, but can defer the installation as many as five times or schedule the installation for a later time, leaving the computer powered on. After five deferrals, the update must be installed.

This OS update can take up to an hour to complete and will require a restart of the computer, so Information Technology Services strongly recommends scheduling a time outside your normal work hours.
