Windows Configuration
The Windows settings have been optimized for the best measurement
performance. Any modifications to these settings may degrade instrument
performance and measurement speed. In general, most Windows System
settings (typically set through the Windows Control Panel) should not be
modified. Those that can be safely modified are listed below.
To recover from problems caused by changing Windows Systems settings, you
may have to reinstall the Windows system and instrument applications using the
Instrument Recovery process.
Settings that can be changed
You may change the following Windows settings or administrative tasks
(available from the Windows Control Panel) to suit your own personal
preferences. It is recommended that you document any changes to the
instrument's configuration in case an Instrument Recovery is performed and
the configuration is reset.
Some of these actions can only be performed with Administrator privileges.

To Do This...
Configure Microsoft Windows Automatic Updates.
Microsoft recommends that you always get the latest critical Windows
updates to ensure that the instrument's Windows operating system is
protected. If the instrument has Internet access, the instrument default is
set to automatically check for critical Windows Updates and notify you.
Setup new user accounts.
Do not delete or modify the "KeysightOnly" user
account. Doing so may prevent Keysight from servicing
the instrument.
