Jul 21, 2022We're investigating installing OS updates during the Autopilot flow (i.e., moving the OS forward to a desired version). Moving the OS back to a supported version is very hard, including inventorying OS images, drivers, firmware, etc. With respect to bloatware, we did have an idea of offering an option to reset the device with the option to remove bloatware during the Autopilot process. We've never ranked it too high, since that's a horribly long process to do a reset, and would be a bad experience for the end user. If you have other ideas or thoughts, we're open to them, too.

We use MDT to reimage the devices. It is by far the fastest approach but I don't want to spend that time on a device. It's a shame that vendors are only focused on marketing instead of listening to business desires.
