I'm trying to better understand the licensing requirements listed around the new quality updates feature. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/protect/windows-10-expedite-updates seems to indicate I need an Windows Enterprise, Education or VDA subscription or Business Premium. We currently have Office E5 + EMS E3 but it looks like that's not sufficiently licensed to get access to this feature. Am I reading that correctly?

Brian,

The expedite feature, as well as additional control over the approval, scheduling, and safeguarding of updates delivered from Windows Update is part of the Windows Update for Business Deployment Service. This document gives an overview of the service and also has a section for service prerequisites which contains the required subscriptions for using the service.  While you are able to use the service to control updates for Windows Pro devices, it does require one of the subscriptions listed there.
