Automatic searching for and downloading new updates
You can configure System Update to automatically search for and download new updates available to your
system on a specified schedule. New updates will be found and automatically downloaded to the local
cache of deferred updates. When the download is completed, you will be notified with a balloon tooltip from
the application icon in the notification area. If you click the balloon tooltip, System Update will be launched
and show the new updates that were downloaded and are ready to install. You can also launch System
Update by double-clicking the application icon.
You can right-click and select Launch or Exit. Selecting Launch will launch System Update and display
the new updates. Selecting Exit will remove the application icon, and you are no longer notified when new
updates were downloaded until the next scheduled search for new updates.
