What happens if a managed update is delayed?

When a managed update is delayed, it is scheduled to occur at the user's next specified time. This means that rather than being canceled or lost completely, the update will be rescheduled based on the preferences set by the user. This approach allows for flexibility in managing updates, ensuring that they are not missed, and can be executed when it is most convenient for the user or the environment.

This principle is important in systems management as it allows users to maintain control over when updates are applied, helping to minimize potential disruptions that could arise from executing updates during critical periods. Additionally, it ensures that system security and performance improvements can still be applied at a later, more suitable time.
