Feature Update Policy relationship to Update Ring Install Schedule
Hoping someone may be able to answer this question. I have not been able to find a definitive answer in KBs. Does the Install Schedule in an Update Ring also apply to Feature Update Policies if the same device group is assigned to both?
We are using Intune Windows Update Ring for our monthly updates via an Update Ring. That update has an Install Schedule configured to Install every Tuesday at 11am.
We are testing using Feature Update Policies to upgrade W10 devices to W11. So far our tests have been successful but the device group is downloading the Feature Update as soon as it checks in for the Policy and not at this scheduled Install Day/Time in the Update Ring.
We are making this a Required update in the Feature Update policy and the Rollout Option is set to "Make Update available as soon as possible" but I guess I thought the Install Schedule in the Update Ring still affected when the installation actually begins. Are the RollOut Options the only way to schedule when the device starts downloading/installing the Feature Update?
Hi, no, the update ring schedule does not apply to feature update policies. Even if assigned to the same device group, feature updates follow their own deployment settings and not the update ring schedule. In your case, the "Make Update available as soon as possible" option causes devices to download and install the update as soon as they detect the policy, ignoring the tuesday 11 AM schedule. To better control feature update deployment, you can use gradual rollout, create separate policies for different device groups, or set a deferral to delay installation.
