"Think of it as an opportunity rather than a burden. If you're like many people, you get tech support calls from frustrated parents or grandparents all year long. This is your chance to make sure things are set up so that, when you do get that call in a month or two, you can more easily fix things - or help your parents fix it themselves."
"For a Windows 11 computer If you don't immediately see Windows Update, type it in the search box. Toggle the box on that reads Get the latest updates as soon as they're available. You can also go to Advanced options if you want your parents to get updates for any other Microsoft products, have the system notify them when a restart is required, or choose the hours when the computer is active (so they won't be surprised by a sudden restart)."
Set automatic updates on parents' computers and phones to minimize future support needs and security risks. On macOS, go to System Settings > General > Software Update > Automatic Updates and consider allowing downloads only if parental choice is preferred. On iPhone, go to Settings > General > Software Update > Automatic Updates and toggle Automatically Install to apply updates automatically; toggling off will allow automatic downloads but require manual installation, with an option to install only system files automatically. On Windows 11, open Windows Update, enable Get the latest updates as soon as they're available, and use Advanced options to include Microsoft product updates, restart notifications, and active hours to avoid unexpected restarts.
