Hello,

 

We have enabled Hotpatch in the February cycle. We have noticed that the build version is different on the device where Hotpatch was installed win 11 build 3107  and for normal Windows 11 24H2(OS Build 26100 3194). Why is this the case? Additionally, we have enabled optional updates from Intune, and we have observed that devices where the Hotpatch setting was deployed are not receiving optional updates? Is this by design? 

Thanks.

    Hello Vijay_kumar89 , 

    Great observation, the minor version of hotpatch will be lower that the regular minor version of a cumulative update for the same month. This allows for installation of a cumulative update on top a hotpatch update if you so choose.  Despite ethe version difference, both updates present the same security coverage. 

    Installing the cumulative update during a hotpatch month will take the device off the hotpatch train. The device will then receive a hotpatch post a planned baseline month. 

    Regarding the non-security update, these are not offered if the machine is opted into hotpatch and is on the hotpatch train.
