Teams Desktop Client - What constitutes Idle for updates?

Question

I've been reading Teams documentation to better understand how Teams updates. Apparently, Teams for Desktop client updates automatically with a silent install when a user is logged in and the computer is idle. What does Teams/Windows consider an idle computer for it to run the update?

Hi @Zac White ,

As this article described, the computer is considered idle if all the processors and all the disks were idle for more than 90% of the last detection interval.

Basically the Teams client will be updated automatically, it checks for updates every few hours and downloads it. When your computer goes to be idle, it will install the update silently. For the update details of Teams, you could read this article.

Best regards,
Lou
