Updating the ThreatLocker Version on a Single Computer

2 min. readlast update: 04.10.2025

You can update the ThreatLocker Version running on a single computer. This is helpful to give you the opportunity to test out a newer version of ThreatLocker before updating your entire organization. 

Navigate to the Devices page. You will see a column entitled 'TL Version'. By default, the setting will be 'Inherit From Group' which means that the version is controlled by the settings of the computer group. 

To change the ThreatLocker Version, select the current version found in the ‘TL Version’ column. 

 

Alternatively, you can select the checkbox to the left of the device name, then select ‘Upgrade Version’. 

 

Next, select the desired version from the dropdown menu. 

 

Select the ‘Change Version’ button when you have selected the version to upgrade to. 

 

Before the version changes can take effect, the ThreatLocker Service will need to be restarted twice. The first restart pulls the download files manually while the second restart (after the next check in) applies the update. You can allow this to happen organically with a computer restart or you can force a service restart from the Devices page. 

To restart the ThreatLocker Service, select the checkbox to the left of the machine you would like to restart the agent on. Select ‘Restart Agent’. 

 

A popup window titled ‘Restart Agent’ will show you all options for restarting the ThreatLocker agent. 

 

Select ‘Selected Devices’ to restart the agent on only the machine you have selected or ‘All Devices’ to restart the agent for every device in your organization. 

Alternatively, you can select the hamburger icon on the top left corner of the ‘Devices’ page, then select ‘Restart Agent (ALL)’ to restart the ThreatLocker agent on all machines.
