This policy controls the auto-update interval for package-based sources. The default source for Windows Package Manager is configured such that an index of the packages is cached on the local machine. The index is downloaded when a user invokes a command, and the interval has passed. If you disable or do not configure this setting, the default interval or the value specified in the Windows Package Manager settings will be used. If you enable this setting, the number of minutes specified will be used by the Windows Package Manager.
