      Automox Persistent Tray | Update/Reboot Notifications

      What is this Automox Tray icon on my desktop?

      Automox now has a persistent system Tray experience for Windows and MacOS devices. The Automox Tray provides ongoing visibility into restart and installation deadlines, making it easier for users to take timely action.

      The Tray automatically reads the deferral settings from your current patch and reboot policies and uses them to calculate and display a single restart deadline to end users to restart before their system automatically restarts. When the user is ready to restart, they can now click the Automox logo in their Tray (top of desktop for macOS and bottom of desktop for Windows) and click the button to restart now.
