Love the Windows Update updates! Just saw the Quality Update report and was reminded, every month, I have to manually update the expected Windows version for our Compliance policy that ensures our PCs have their latest Quality Update applied. I would love it if this were automated in some way. Would your team be a good place to send that feedback? If not, how best should I suggest it?

    treestryder , you just have!  I agree, updating that manually every month is not fun and so we do have on our list to look into how to better automate that compliance policy setting.  Would you prefer if it were to automatically update the version... or rather would you like it better if we changed the input so that you can say "Quality Updates released within the last [you specify] days are compliant"?

      Currently, every "Patch Tuesday", I set the values to latest version numbers once the Windows release page has been updated (see policy screenshot below). This policy has a 7 day grace period.

      If I had to convert this to days, I might have to set it to "31". 

      My main concern is ensuring Windows Update is working on the PC and will update as soon as it can. This is the best way I found to ensure it is.

        That sounds good, I think we'd offer a reasonably wide range of days, maybe as many as allowing QU's up to 90 days (maybe 92 🙂 ) to be considered current.
