About Subscription Updates

A subscription update is the process that Patch Management runs to download new patch content, patch definitions, and other files for Patch Management.

By default, subscription updates occur once daily at a schedule time. However, you can also run a subscription update immediately by clicking Update Now from Subscription Service Settings.
