Check for and download updates for non pinned apps on boot

Non-pinned apps are all apps that are not assigned to a device via the UMS, regardless of whether the assignment was made via a profile or directly. This applies to apps that are dependencies of other apps, for instance. Example: The app Citrix Multimedia Codec is a dependency for the Citrix Workspace App.

If the defined checking time has been missed because the device has no network or cannot reach the UMS or the IGEL App Portal, the update check is queued until the connection is available again. If the defined checking time has been missed because the device has been powered off, the update check will not be queued.
Possible values: Crontab syntax; if the field is empty, no update check will be performed. For details on the crontab syntax, see https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/crontab.5.html or check out the interactive tool at https://crontab.guru/.
