The system update policy can be one of three types:

Automatic

Installs system updates as soon as they become available (without user interaction). Setting this policy type immediately installs any pending updates that might be postponed or waiting for a maintenance window.

Windowed

Installs system updates during a daily maintenance window (without user interaction). Set the start and end of the daily maintenance window, as minutes of the day, when creating a new windowed policy.

Postponed

Postpones the installation of system updates for 30 days. After the 30-day period has ended, the system prompts the device user to install the update.


Note:

Postponement periods

The system limits each update to one 30-day postponement. The period begins when the system first postpones the update and setting new postponement policies won’t extend the period.

Caution: Postponing OTA updates can prevent devices from receiving critical updates. For this reason, device manufacturers or carriers might choose to exempt important security updates from a postponement policy. Exempted updates notify the device user when they become available.

Besides postponement, Android might not be able to install an update for other reasons such as no connectivity, insufficient disk space, or low battery.

The system resets the 30-day postponement timer if a different update becomes available during the period—giving IT admins a chance to try the combined system updates. Once 30 days have passed without a new update, the system prompts the user to install all the pending updates. Later, when a new system update becomes available, the 30-day period begins again.
