If it has stopped and hasn't checked for updates in more than 24 hours, the sync app will check for updates as soon as it's started. The OneDrive sync app checks for available updates every 24 hours when it's running.

How the sync app checks for and applies updates For info about the Windows 10 update process, see Build deployment rings for Windows 10 updates. For info about the Microsoft 365 update process, see Overview of update channels for Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise.

Microsoft reserves the right to bypass the 60-day grace period for critical updates.

After updates have completely rolled out within the Production ring, we release them to the next ring, Deferred. In the rare case we detect an issue, we suspend the release, address the issue, and release a new update to users in the same order. At each increase along the way, we monitor telemetry for quality assurance purposes. We roll them out to a small percentage of users in the ring at first, and slowly roll them out to everyone in the ring. Later, we release to organizations in the default update ring, Production. It takes about three days to roll out to this ring. To try these latest features, join the Windows Insider program or the Office Insider program. How we release updates through multiple ringsĪfter we validate updates through rings within Microsoft, we release them to the first public ring, Insiders. After we finish rolling out updates within the Production ring, we publish them to the Mac App Store, where they're immediately released to everyone.

The sync app installed from the Mac App Store follows a separate update process. If you allow your users to sync personal OneDrive accounts, the update process described in this article and any settings you select apply to all instances of the sync app.
