Staff and students using the computers in the Computing Labs and open access areas may find that many of the software application shortcuts do not open the software and will produce an error. We are currently looking into this issue and hope to have a fix soon.
In the meantime, if you need to access any of the software on the Lab computers you can do so by launching them directly from the Essex Software Hub – https://software.essex.ac.uk (simply find the icon of the application you wish to run and click the Launch button).
We will post an update as soon as this issue has been resolved.
Update 15:20
This issue has now been resolved. All messages sent via the mailshot system and messages sent to subscription list recipients are now being sent as expected and the backlog has been cleared.
Update 10:45
We believe this issue has now been resolved and any queued messages to subscription lists or via the mailshot system are automatically being sent out this morning. We will provide a further update when the backlog of messages has been cleared and the systems are fully back to normal operation.

We are currently experiencing some issues with both our mailshot and subscription list systems. This means that all messages sent to mailshot recipients and those sent to subscribers of any Essex subscription-based mailing lists (such as smallads) are not currently being delivered. We are looking into the cause of these problems and will post an update as soon as it has been fixed.
Update 14:00
This issue has now been resolved. If you are still experiencing issues with launching applications from the Essex Software Hub please contact the IT Helpdesk.

We are currently experiencing issues with software provision via the Essex Software Hub (AppsAnywhere) service. This will affect many computers on campus and will result in software applications not launching correctly and/or crashing. IT Services staff have been in contact with our support partners for this service and hope to have a resolution to this issue as soon as possible.
Update 15:17
FASER should be back to normal service now.
We will continue to monitor the service in case there are any further issues.
