We recommend that you review Installation Messages immediately after updating the Joomla! CMS.
If there are any new messages after you update your website's Joomla! CMS then you will see a yellow box displayed next to Installation Messages in the Information panel of the System Dashboard.
The yellow box will look like the one next to Warnings in the image below.
If you need help implementing changes recommended by an Installation Message, we can help.

Heads up: Users of Admin Tools PRO with Joomla! 4
After migrating from Joomla! 3.10 to Joomla! 4.x you will see the above Installation Message which contains a link entitled: Enable default security headers.
We asked Akeeba whether one should act on this message if using Admin Tools PRO + Htaccess Maker with their website.
Reply:
"Since you are already using .htaccess Maker which sets up these headers you must not use Joomla's plugin. Using the .htaccess method is better because the headers are sent more consistently for all requests, not just the HTML document requests Joomla itself handles."
