I’m getting a popup message that says:
“We’ve got an update for you
Windows is a service and updates are a normal part of keeping it running securely. We need your help installing this one.”
Followed by icons for “Restart Now”, “Pick a time”, and “Snooze”.
Is this a legitimate Windows update or is this a hack attack?

Hi James, if the popup you are seeing is like the one on the link below, that is a legitimate Update Notification from Microsoft
The update has already downloaded onto your system and is awaiting installation
This will be a big update and will take time to install, so pick a time that suits your routine . . .
Yes, it is legitimate, it is the latest version of Windows 10. You can choose when you want to install it. Learn more about the new features:
