Improvements to Rechecking After an OS Update

Kolide has enhanced its system to improve the user experience by reducing the delay in recognizing operating system updates after a device reboot, addressing a previous challenge where users were mistakenly informed that updates were not installed. This change aims to make security patch installations more seamless for users across macOS, Windows, and Linux, by promptly acknowledging updates within seconds after a restart, thus avoiding unnecessary rechecks. The updated system prioritizes re-running checks immediately, ensuring that users can authenticate smoothly into Kolide-protected apps without encountering misleading notifications. Additionally, Kolide has extended this immediate update recognition to critical applications like web browsers, acknowledging that a reboot often prompts the necessary updates for these applications. This improvement is expected to enhance user satisfaction by minimizing disruptions and making the update process as unobtrusive as possible.
