Settings for restarting Windows devices after updating the security application

When you start Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud Management Console after Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud has been upgraded to a new version, you can specify the settings for restarting Windows devices. Later, you can modify these settings, as described in this section.

The procedure described in this section is available only if you created your workspace before version 6.0 of Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud and if Kaspersky Endpoint Security 10.0 for Windows is still in use in your workspace.

To configure the restarting of Windows devices after updating the security application on them:

  1. Open Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud Management Console.
  2. Select the Settings section.

    The General settings of Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud page is displayed.

  3. Click the Settings link in the Update the security application for Windows devices section.

    The Application update settings page appears.

  4. Select one of the modes for restarting computers after installation of a security application update:
    • Do not restart. The computer will not be restarted automatically after the security application is updated. The updated version of the security application will take effect after the next restart of the computer.
    • Restart automatically. The computer will be immediately restarted after the security application is updated.

      This option is selected by default.

    • Ask the user. In this case, after the security application is updated, the computer screen will show a message about the need for a restart. To restart the computer, the user must be prompted for permission. You can specify the frequency for showing the restart prompt. Select the Repeat prompt every (min) check box, and then enter the frequency (in minutes) in the entry field. You can also define a forced computer restart after a specific amount of time. Select the Force computer restart after (min) check box and then, in the entry field, specify the amount of time (in minutes) to wait after the security application is updated before the computer will be automatically restarted.
  5. Click the Save button.

After the security application is installed, Windows devices will be restarted according to the settings you defined.
