LiveUpdate Frequency

How often do the Automatic LiveUpdates take place?  The help pages have 2 different times, 4 hours under LiveUpdate and 8 hours under Pulse Update. 

 

So what happens, if you use one of the pitifully few options for task scheduling and turn off Automatic LiveUpdates and schedule LiveUpdate run only once a day?  Does Pulse Updates force a LiveUpdate every 4 or 8 hours (whatever the actual interval is) anyway??

So Automatic LiveUpdates happen every 4 hours by default (per the help file), but the Update Servers are only updated every 8 hours.  I guess that's why the Pulse Update description in the help file says:

 

      Pulse Updates provide the updates in between the full updates, which LiveUpdate downloads

      automatically every eight hours.

 

That explains that.  It's too bad the manual task scheduling is so limited.

 

Thanks,
