Suppress display notifications on clients

Specifies that display notifications are not used on clients and progress indicators are not displayed during update installation. Software update notification icons will still display on clients and users can click this icon to see available updates.

Client Local Time

Specifies that clients use their local time to evaluate the schedules for when software updates become available on clients and when deadlines enforce software update installation, if enabled.
