Keeping updated

Ubuntu delivers security and other updates to your software automatically.

When security updates are available, the Update Manager automatically starts up. For other updates you will be prompted once a week. To install updates, just click Install Updates and enter your password when prompted.

[Tip]

Depending on the software which has been updated, Ubuntu may prompt you to restart your system.
