Event details
Morning, we have received notification that applying updates during OOBE is going to be reintroduced in January. For us it aligns nicely with a hardware refresh that will be beginning in January.
Are you able to share any details regarding what has changed since it was first introduced and subsequently removed due to issues?
Also, do the updates apply during pre-provisioning or user OOBE stage? Is it just OS cumulatives or will it support Feature Updates as well?
Microsoft**Ignore - Jason's response is accurate. :)
Great to hear that you're excited for this improvement! This will apply only to the cumulative Security quality updates (Patch Tuesday updates) and will apply during the user OOBE stage. As noted, this feature will be manageable via Intune Autopilot or other MDMs who choose to integrate with such and will honor update deferrals policies as well.
