Updating the Myndr extension

We regularly publish a new version of the Myndr extension. Sometimes to add new features, but sometimes also to fix bugs. So it's a good idea to make sure the students' laptops are up to date!

To make sure your students have the latest version of the Myndr extension, proceed as follows:

1 - Make sure the browser knows the most recent policies

Have the students type the following in the browser's address bar:
about:policy

and then have them click "Reload policies":

Google Chrome

Microsoft Edge

2 - Have the students restart their laptop

Have the students fully restart their laptop. Make sure they don't just put the laptop to sleep, but that the computer does a full restart. On a Chromebook, this requires holding the power button for 5 seconds.

After that, Chromebooks are almost always fully updated straight away!

On Windows 10, click the Windows icon in the taskbar, then "Power" and then "Restart":

Windows 10

On Windows 11, click the Windows icon in the taskbar, then the power button and then "Restart":

Windows 11

Windows laptops are known for taking a while before they are fully updated. You may need to repeat this procedure a few times. 🤷‍♂️
