SUMMARY
When the AutoUpdate feature displays a message with a Remind Me Later option, the amount of time that the user selects is set globally, which means that after the set amount of time has passed, the AutoUpdate feature displays the message again to whichever user is currently logged on to the computer.



MORE INFORMATION
The AutoUpdate feature can be configured to prompt the current user when an update is available before the AutoUpdate feature downloads the update.

The AutoUpdate feature always prompts the current user before installing an update. Whenever the user is prompted to make this decision, the user can click the Remind Me Later button and choose a quantity of time for the AutoUpdate feature to wait before prompting again.

NOTE: The AutoUpdate feature only prompts users who are members of the Owners group or Administrators group for the download and installation of updates.
