RelaunchWindow

Set the time interval for relaunch

Supported versions

  • On Windows and macOS since 93 or later

Description

Specifies a target time window for the end of the relaunch notification period.

Users are notified of the need for a browser relaunch or device restart based on the RelaunchNotification and RelaunchNotificationPeriod policy settings. Browsers and devices are forcibly restarted at the end of the notification period when the RelaunchNotification policy is set to 'Required'. This RelaunchWindow policy can be used to defer the end of the notification period so that it falls within a specific time window.

If you don't configure this policy, the default target time window is the whole day (i.e., the end of the notification period is never deferred).

Note: Though the policy can accept multiple items in entries, all but the first item are ignored. Warning: Setting this policy may delay application of software updates.
