To create an Android System Updates policy:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Go to DEVICE MANAGEMENT > Policy Management<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- In the All<\/strong> tab, click (+<\/strong>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- On the New Policy panel, select the Android<\/strong> tab.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Select the System Updates policy from the list, then click configure<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- (Optional) On the New Policy panel, enter a new name for the policy, or keep the default. Policy names must be unique.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- For Policy Notes<\/strong>, enter details like when you created the policy, where you tested it, and where you deployed it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Under Settings<\/strong>, choose from the following System Update Settings <\/strong>to determine how updates are installed on devices:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Select Default<\/strong> to use the device\u2019s update behavior, which typically requires the end user to accept system updates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Select Automatic<\/strong> to automatically install updates as soon as it is available.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Select Windowed<\/strong> to automatically install updates within the daily maintenance window you specify. Use this method for dedicated devices.\n
- \n
- When Windowed <\/strong>mode is selected, enter a Daily Start Time<\/strong> and Daily End Time<\/strong> totalling at least 30 minutes when system updates will be installed on the device. The time must be entered in HH:MM:AM or HH:MM:PM format, for example 12:00PM.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Select Postpone<\/strong> to defer automatic installation of updates for 30 days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

<\/p><\/div>Note:<\/strong> \n- \n
- In Windowed mode, the Daily Start Time<\/strong> and Daily End Time<\/strong> reflect the time zone set on the device. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If the maintenance window specified is less than 30 minutes, the actual window is extended to 30 minutes beyond the start time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- If Automatic<\/strong>, Windowed<\/strong>, or Postpone<\/strong> is selected in the previous step, you can also define a Freeze Period<\/strong>, which is an annually recurring period during which system updates won\u2019t be installed on devices. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p><\/div>Note:<\/strong> \n
- \n
- The freeze period will recur yearly on the specified MM\/DD, regardless of the year specified here. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- To prevent freezing updates on the device indefinitely, each freeze period must be separated by at least 60 days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Leap years are ignored in freeze period calculations. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- This field is limited to dedicated devices running Android 9.0 and later.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
![](\"\/wp-content\/themes\/jumpcloud\/assets\/images\/gutenberg-blocks\/tip-icon.png\")
<\/p><\/div>Tip:<\/strong> \nUse the Freeze Period to prevent a critical device from updating to ensure zero downtime, or application compatibility with new versions. <\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

- (Optional) Select the Device Groups<\/strong> tab. Select one or more device groups where you will apply this policy. For device groups with multiple OS member types, the policy is applied only to the supported OS.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- (Optional) Select the Devices<\/strong> tab. Select one or more devices where you will apply this policy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p><\/div>Tip:<\/strong> \n
For this policy to take effect, you have to specify a device or a device group in Step 10 or Step 11.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
