```A Windows 10 device is assigned this update ring policy. A new quality update is released today. When will the device install the update?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse the 'Automatic update behavior' setting (which controls restart behavior) with the deferral period (which controls when the update is offered), leading them to incorrectly assume that a 'reboot with warning' mode delays the installation itself.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Today
The update ring policy is configured with 'Automatic update behavior' set to 'Auto install and restart without end-user control' and 'Servicing channel' set to 'Current branch (CB)'. When a new quality update is released, devices in this configuration will download and install the update immediately, typically within 24 hours of release, without any deferral period. The policy does not specify any deferral for quality updates, so the installation occurs today.

In 7 days
Why it's wrong here
Not specified.
- ✗
In 30 days
Why it's wrong here
30 days is the feature update deferral, not quality.
- ✓
Today
Why this is correct
Deferral is 0 days, so it installs as soon as available.
- ✗
Never, because automatic update mode requires reboot with warning.
Why it's wrong here
The mode allows installation with warning, not blocking it.
