Selecting the update task run mode

To select the update task run mode:

  1. Open the application settings window.
  2. In the left part of the window, in the Scheduled tasks section, select Update.

    In the right part of the window, the Application Update Settings are displayed.

  3. Click the Run mode button.

    The Run mode tab opens in the Update window.

  4. In the Run mode section, select one of the following options for starting an update task:
    • If you want Kaspersky Endpoint Security to run the update task depending on whether or not an update package is available from the update source, select Automatically. The frequency of checks by Kaspersky Endpoint Security for update packages increases during virus outbreaks and is less at other times.
    • If you want to start an update task manually, select Manually.
    • If you want to configure a startup schedule for the update task, select By schedule.
  5. Do one of the following:
    • If you have selected the Automatically or Manually option, go to step 6 in the instructions.
    • If you have selected the By schedule option, specify the settings of the update task run schedule. To do so:
      1. In the Frequency drop-down list, specify when to start the update task. Select one of the following options: Minutes, Hours, Days, Every week, At a specified time, Every month, or After application startup.
      2. Depending on the item that is selected from the Frequency drop-down list, specify values for the settings that define the startup time of the update task.
      3. In the Postpone running after application startup for field, specify the time interval by which the start of the update task is postponed after the startup of Kaspersky Endpoint Security.

        If the After application startup item is selected from the Frequency drop-down list, the Postpone running after application startup for field is not available.

      4. If you want Kaspersky Endpoint Security to run skipped update tasks as soon as possible, select the Run skipped tasks check box.

        If Hours, Minutes or After application startup is selected from the Frequency drop-down list, the Run skipped tasks check box is unavailable.

  6. Click OK.
  7. To save changes, click the Save button.
