iClicker Polling Freezing

Start Time: Friday, October 20, 2023 at 8:00 AM
End Time: Wednesday, October 25, 2023 at 4:15 PM

Resolution:

iClicker published a fixed version which was deployed across campus at about 4:15pm today (10/25/2023). If the lab computer was not currently running iClicker it was updated to the fixed version. The updated iClicker was also deployed to Software Center for installation on office computers (see instructions here https://www.uwec.edu/kb/article/installing-software-on-office-computers/ if needed)

Original message:

On 10/19/2023 a routine monthly Windows update went out to all computers on campus. This update has caused an issue with iClicker Polling no longer working on campus computers.

LTS is aware of the issue and are investigating all possible solutions and workarounds to fix the issue. We are in contact with iClicker (who are aware of the issue and are working towards a solution themselves).

Message from iClicker about this issue:

We apologize for the issues you have been facing with iClicker. The past 2 weeks we have seen an uptick in instructors reporting issues using Windows 11, due to the forced update by Windows 11. Our teams have reached out to Windows to seek a response, as the issue stems from the update itself.

The Windows team confirmed for us that this is a bug in their capture service from the recent update and advised us on how we can mitigate it. They intend to fix it in an upcoming release, and we are awaiting details on the timing and whether it will also be fixed in already released versions.

As we know the profound effect this can have on the classroom experience, we are pursuing our own fix from the direction they've provided. This will be scheduled for an immediate hotfix that would require a new download for affected instructors. Our Product team is already working on fixing and verifying the new build.

iPhone iOS 17 Update Impacting FollowMe Printing

Start Time: Wednesday, September 27, 2023 at 3:45 PM
End Time: Saturday, October 7, 2023 at 7:00 AM

Resolution:

LTS Technical Services was able to develop our own workaround to the iOS and iPadOS 17 FollowMe printing issue. It is important to note we are unable to distribute this workaround to the Pablo Center or our Marshfield locations. Users will see an additional set of FollowMe print queues that end with ios17 they can use. These function just like the originals. LTS cannot guarantee the stability of this workaround but are confident it will hold until Apple releases iOS and iPadOS 17.2 at the end of the month. The beta versions of 17.2 appear to correct changes Apple made within their initial release of 17 that created this issue. This was never an issue with PaperCut. Once LTS has verified the new version of the OS corrects the issue, we will remove queues with ios17 in the name. The upcoming OS release should also make printing available at Pablo Center and Marshfield functional again. If you encounter any issues, please email helpdesk@uwec.edu or give them a call at (715) 836-5711.

Original message:

Appleā€™s recent release of iOS 17 for iPhone prevents users from seeing the FollowMe print queues. At this time there is no fix for this issue or a timeline when a fix will be made available from either Apple and/or PaperCut.

If you are an iPhone user that has not upgraded to iOS 17, you may want to wait to do so until this issue is resolved if you print primarily or frequently from your iPhone.

iPadOS 17 may be impacted by this issue, but is yet to be confirmed. Other operating systems do not appear to be impacted by this issue at this time.

You do not need to report this issue to the LTS Help Desk. A follow-up resolution notice for this issue will be posted when a fix is in place.
