Any libraries flagged as having updates available (denoted by blue > or light blue < ) or ready to install (green + ) should be left for the automatic processing to handle.

Download and Install checks run alternately approximately every hour during the automated window you have chosen. Note that Immediately is not limited to a specified time window.
