Question

I know they said they are still evaluating if they can do autopatch for education licenses, but what is there to evaluate?&nbsp; The features in A3/E3 and A5/E5 are basically identical.&nbsp; If anything education gives you more.&nbsp;

Hi Nathan Obenhoffer,
&nbsp;
Thanks for the question! Unfortunately, Windows Autopatch is not available for ‘A’ or 'F' series licensing. The service is only included with Windows 10/11 Enterprise E3 or higher.
&nbsp;
Feel free to send us direct feedback at&nbsp;Windows Autopatch Feedback Portal

Harman_Thind&nbsp;This is really an unfortunate decision. The education market (and Microsoft's presence in that market) should definitely encourage the allowance of the service in E3/E5 licensed organizations. I hope Microsoft swiftly reconsiders this decision.

Hi&nbsp;BKPalmer&nbsp;,
&nbsp;
Thanks for the note. Any tenant that has E3/E5 is&nbsp;entitled to the Windows Autopatch service. If a tenant has one of the appropriate licenses for Windows Autopatch, we will allow enrollment. Let me know if I misunderstood your comment, happy to address any questions.
&nbsp;
Thanks!

That's a shame, I've got a use case for 500+ machines.

BKPalmer&nbsp;A lot of the decision are based on time, effort and market impact. I'm quite positive it will be a matter of time.
