Upgrading to Windows 11
We are in the process of running a PoC upgrading Win10 Enterprise devices to Win11. This is being done by using the Intune Feature Update policies along with Config Profiles setting the TargetRelea...

Mar 17, 2022That's a great question. I'm not sure and will ask to find out what happens when you remove a specific policy setting, and what it sets the client to... I'm not sure... so to be safe, I'd leave the setting in the configuration policy, but set the value to a blank/empty string. Once you are confident that change has been deployed to all your devices, then it's definitely safe to remove the configuration policy.

Thanks, be interested in knowing the answer on this one. What I don't want to do is remove the Config Profile which in turn makes a change to the 'HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\current\device\Update\TargetReleaseVersion' String Value forcing the client to check for the latest OS available, i.e. Win11 and implement that before we're ready.
Technically it 'shouldn't' as most of our devices are being targeted by the Win10 21H2 Feature Update policy in Intune, but not a risk I really want to take at the moment 🙂

That is a good point. You do want to ensure the devices are fully in the Feature update profile before removing the TargetReleaseVersion setting. The best way to do that is to check the Feature update report and see that the device is listed in the report.

Working on that! Our goal is for the reports to update within 8 hours. Actually seeing that most of the time, but not always and are working to isolate and resolve those delays.
