The Update Experience
Similar to Windows and Office updates, updates for third party software will be scheduled for installation. These updates tend to have minimal impact and are often not noticed by a user especially if the application is not open. However, if the application to be updated is in conflict (i.e., The application is in use) there will be a notice such as the one below giving the option to close the application and install the update or to snooze (defer) the installation.
The installation of the update can be deferred for 4 days. If no action is taken (e.g., You're away from your desk) after 5 minutes, the installation will be auto deferred.
This prompt will be repeated once a day until the installation can no longer be deferred. When that happens the only option left is to close and update the software.
The cycle explained
The Patch My PC catalog is updated once per week on Sundays at 11am. On Tuesdays at 11am the ADR for "3rd Party - Include" will add beginning around 11am any new application updates to will appear in the Software Update Group. Updates will show up Center as 'Available' in Software Center beginning Tuesday afternoons after devices check in after 11 am. On Thursday at 11am the deadline for these updates is met and devices will install any applicable updates if the application is closed. If the application is open, the deferral schedule of prompting once per day will begin. Users can defer via the toast notification seen above. The The deferral period ends on Monday at 11 am and if the application is still open it will be closed and updated.
