Hi Disp350

You got lucky with the timing. We have recently upgraded from Win 11 21H2 to 22H2 and that took between 15-30 mins for the PC to reboot and user signs again.
I’ll tell you it was quicker than any previous build update but not 5 mins for us. I totally agree with you, it’s so much faster from manual update.

Hope this helps!

Moe_Kinani Hi Moe. Thanks for the reply. I am still trying to figure out why it only takes a few minutes. I can't get over it completing this quickly. I was used to Servicing through SCCM that usually took an hour. Any ideas as to why it updates so quickly? I could not find any documentation from Microsoft regarding this.

Hi Phil,

Do you Delivery Optimization enabled in Intune? This is the secret sauce to increase the download bandwidth in your network.

Answering your question about SCCM, WUFB is pushed to the PCs directly from the cloud using peer to peer technology while SCCM is provided by central servers located directly at your site. So that’s why takes more time with SCCM. Check this article about DO.

hope this helps!

  HI Moe. Yes, we have DO enabled. We still have some sites we manage that are remote (as in too far out to be able to get decent bandwidth). We use 1E Nomad with SCCM, so getting DO enabled was critical. And it does work very well - no growling from the network team we are using all the bandwidth!
