Scheduled install every day and limit updating to weekly occurence

Question

Hi All,

We have a GPO configured as such:

4 - Auto download and schedule the install
0 - Every day
Install time - 20:00
Occurence - Every week

Can anyone confirm if the setting Occurence - Every week would be useless here since we have this set to install every day? Not 100% sure but a laptop that failed to download the update on the day the GPO was applied (Was definitely in the correct target group) then installed successfully 1 week later

According to the configuration above, the clients will check, download, and install updates automatically at the schedule time if there are several updates waiting for installation.

Of course, the clients(windows update agent) will refuse to install updates if the clients are in active hours or there are something wrong while clients are downloading and installing updates and fail to install updates currently.

Please review the windows update log on the client if you want to confirm why the updates are failed to install at the schedule time.

Hope the above will be helpful. Have a nice day.

Regards,
Rita
