Windows Updates

SnapStream servers are shipped with automatic Windows updates disabled, in order to avoid
unattended reboots and maintain a known operating system environment. SnapStream recommends
following your IT department's recommendations on Windows updates. In the unlikely event that a
Windows update causes a conflict with SnapStream software, we will notify users as soon as possible.
