- You can set active hours that prevent devices from updating during specified times when the device may be in use.
- Updates will automatically download outside of active hours as long as the devices are powered on and connected to the internet.
- Using the Manual update policy means that devices will not automatically update when a system update becomes available.
- You will have to initiate the update using the UDS Device Management portal manually.
- Note: Automatic policy is the recommended update method. The manual approach requires special intervention.

- Do one of the following:
- If you want the system to check for updates any day of the week, leave the Only check for updates on these days check box clear.
- If you want the system to check for updates on specific days of the week, select the Only check for update on these days check box, and then select the days you want.
- Note: This feature is useful for scheduling updates outside of school hours so that updates do not interrupt student use.
