2026-10-30 · 1 views

Description

Windows update management gets painful when rings, deadlines and feature updates are handled in separate corners of the organization. This episode of M365 FM explains how Windows Autopatch, update rings and feature updates fit together, and how to build a rollout model that your service desk and your users can live with. We look at how to design deployment rings, how to pace quality updates and feature updates, which signals tell you to pause a rollout, and how to handle exceptions without letting them quietly become the default. You will learn how to choose between Autopatch and self-managed update rings, how to set expectations for users and the helpdesk, and how to keep a clear picture of compliance across your Windows estate. Who it is for: Microsoft 365, Intune and endpoint administrators, endpoint architects and IT managers who are responsible for keeping Windows devices secure and current.
