Are A3 and A5 licenses not good enough to get Windows Autopatch?
Si i came across an article on the Autopatch and thought i want to try that. i looked at the prereq's and thought i have all that. went to my Endpoint Manager console and Windows Autopatch is not there. i read it should automatically be there if you meet the requirements. i thought i did, i have EPM setup and devices are co managed and are hybris azure ad joined. the only difference in the prereq's that i saw was that it said E3 licenses and above. i am in the education sector and i have A3 and A5 licenses. are they not the same as the E3 and E5 equivalent? Is this why i dont see Windows Autopatch available to my tenant?
Autopatch Client Setup v2 - Time Outs
Hi All Since our tenant was upgraded on 25/02 we've seen intermittant timeouts during the Autopilot process and those failing seem to happen on the installation of the Autopatch client set up. We're also seeing over 2k failures on the installation of the new client. Has anybody seen anything similar? Thanks Birdseed
How to exclude Device from Windows Autopatch
(Snippet from Anoop's Blog - Link Below) Sign in to the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center https://endpoint.microsoft.com/ Navigate to Devices > Windows Autopatch, and click on Devices. Under Windows Autopatch, Devices. The Ready tab shows devices successfully registered to the Windows Autopatch service. Select the device(s) you want to deregister in either the Ready or Not ready tab. Once a device or multiple devices are selected, select Device actions, then select Deregister device.

Diffrence between assigned groups
Hello, Could somebody explain the difference between groups—manually created groups and assigning them in tenants—autopatch groups (Test and Last) and bunches of "Modern..." auto-created groups? Where do I have to add my computers if I need to add them to Update RIngs? And what about Office and Edge groups, i dont see them in any configurations... thanksAutopatch powershell script "Modern Workplace - Autopatch Client Setup v1.1"
Can anyone provide me with the powershell script that is created in endpoint manager? I unintentionally overwrote it and we are supposed to role out autopatch in early march. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have created a ticket with microsoft but they are wanting me to wait a few weeks as they say they are in the process of updating the script. Thanks.

Microsoft's Approach to Fixing Broken Patches: New KB Releases vs. Updates to Existing KBs
We have disabled this KB in our patching because it is broken. (KB5034441) I'm checking the status of the patch Windows 10, version 22H2 | Microsoft Learn to see if we can enable the patch again. Does Microsoft release a new KB number to fix a broken patch, or does it simply update the details/code of the existing KB and then release it to the public?
