An administrator uses Configuration Manager to manage Windows 10 devices. The administrator wants to deploy a custom Windows application as an Application model deployment type. The application requires a reboot. Which deployment purpose should the administrator use to allow users to control the installation timing?

Many candidates confuse 'Available' with 'Required' because both can deliver applications, but only Available gives users control over installation timing and reboot scheduling.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Available
The Available deployment purpose allows users to see the application in Software Center and choose when to install it, including scheduling the required reboot at their convenience. This gives users control over installation timing, which is the stated requirement. Required and Mandatory deployments force installation according to a schedule, removing user choice.
