Autopatch Readiness Not Ready
I've recently started rolling out Autopatch in our environment. I've started see devices registered with an Autopatch readiness state of Not ready. A majority of those devices are showing a Conflicting Configuration for the registry key SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\DoNotConnectToWindowsUpdateInternetLocations. But on all the devices I've looked at that key is set to 0. Which means that setting is explicitly disabled. So, it should allow devices access to the internet for Windows Updates. As far as I can tell we're not setting that regkey anywhere explicitly in a GPO. All of our devices are CoManaged with SCCM. So, I'm assuming this is something SCCM is setting. What's confusing to me is the Microsoft documentation I've looked at regarding conflicting configuration states it's looking at any setting for that existing registry key. But, if that registry key exists and it's explicitly allowing internet access to Windows Updates why would that be a problem? My other concern is if I do the suggested remediations and delete that registry key all together am I going to break something else? Or, if I delete the key, is SCCM just going to add it right back?Windows Autopatch - monthly summary emails not received anymore
Hi, I am wondering whether anyone has the same experience -> I was receiving Monthly Quality Update Summary email from Windows Autopatch service configured in Intune. However, for last two months, this email has not arrived. I still receive the other notification email about Autopatch Advisory informing about how the updates will be deployed for the month, but not the summary email. Any idea if anything has changed? It was very useful for my monthly reporting....
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
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 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/status-windows-10-22h2 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?A walkthrough of how update management is getting simplified
Windows Autopatch is expanding to encompass all update solutions, creating a one-stop shop through Microsoft Intune. By bringing together different solutions under one umbrella, you get a more comprehensive and user-friendly experience. There are also enhancements on the support for frontline worker devices, reporting features, and introducing driver and firmware granular controls. See how it all works and what's to come at Windows Autopatch: Simplifying the update management story.
