- I know you introducing more scheduling flexibility, we currently manage some of that by using SCCM maintenance windows, what is the plan for that capability in Intune?
Hi Jeffry,
That capability within Intune is a part of the Windows Update for Business deployment service which is available to Windows E3 + E5 subscribers. Windows Autopatch is developing a similar capability, which is discussed in the latest episode of Behind the screens with Windows Autopatch.
On behalf of the Windows Autopatch team, we thank you for being a part of this event. If you have more questions, suggestions, or want to dive deeper, join and post on our Tech community at

That concludes our live stream for Windows Autopatch AMA. We’re happy you’re here with us at the Microsoft Technical Takeoff!
Whether you are attending one session or many, please take this 2-minute survey and let us know your thoughts on this event. We’ll continue to answer questions here in the chat for the rest of the hour and we’ll check back throughout the week.
And please continue the discussion at:
- Will WUfB and Autopatch be expanded to include the MS Server OS?
- FWIW: WUfB is supported on servers.

Hi Timothy, Right now, Windows Autopatch is intentionally focused on patching just desktops and laptops (Windows 10/11). That said, it's not the first time we've heard this question and the product/service team is aware of requests in this space.
- I know there is a big push towards internet/cloud solutions but how do you handle smaller regional sites where the patch download can impact the bandwith and business functions. Clearly SCCM uses DP's to prevent issues but WUfB and Autopatch rely on internet which is not always ideal. Delivery Optimization appears to be the only option which is not great for these situations.
- Although years in the promising, keep your eye out for 'Standalone Microsoft Connected Cache'. That's the DP-like solution for DO.
- Thanks that will be a nice feature and will help improve adoption
- Also, third party patching becomes the issue right, SCCM can do everything but Intune is like patching with your hands tied. Enterprises look for corporate wide solutions which SCCM can do while Intune introduces more complexity and more things to manage without eliminating any technologies.
For all topics I heard so far are not including any Windows 10 LTSC or IoT edition. Is Microsoft has no plan to offer any new feature on them? Other than WSUS, what kind of tools we can take care of these special editions?
- EricMoeFor these editions you should be able to configure MDM policies / WUfB policies on these devices (assuming they are MDM managed). At this time Autopatch does not support these editions, but we will continue to gather customer feedback in this area.
- Hi Eric... we also have Windows 10 LTSC in our environment..... was hoping to move these devices to MEM and Autopatch and get off SCCM... is there a timeline when LTSC will be included in Update Rings/Auto Pacth?

- Enroll a tenant
- Register and manage devices
- Release management and support
- Reporting
- excellent demos, thx!
- One of our pain point is automatic drivers/firmware updates causing issues. I know that Driver/Firmware management is coming "soon" to allow testing before broad release in our environment. Will Autopatch also leverage Driver/Firmware management?
- EricMoeDrivers and firmware that are published to Windows Update as Automatic will be delivered as part of Windows Autopatch. A subset of non-Microsoft device drivers is supported. Drivers published as ‘Manual’ will not be supported. These would need to be installed by other means. All drivers for the Microsoft Surface family of devices will be managed by Windows Autopatch. Your Test, First, and Fast rings allow testing before broad release in your environment.
- For non-security out-of-band updates that are currently only released through the Microsoft Update Catalog, how should these be handled in a WUFB/Autopatch environment?
