What is the algorithm for Wufb updates via Intune? I guess my question is, how long does a device have to be online before it gets updates?
I've been testing this in my environment and I've seen some devices get hit with updates almost 10-30 minutes after logging online, and others can be online all day and get hit with updates at 10pm (10+ hours later).
I guess I just get worried when I have a deadline, for example, Group A to get hit with updates 2 days after patch tuesday and halfway through the day only half of that group actually received updates.

MicrosoftThe scheduling is driven by the Windows Update client on the device. In general, devices scan about once every 24 hours... but there are also checks in place so that if the device is off and misses a 24 hour scheduled scan, it can do so shortly after logging in, or booting up. So, once an update becomes available to devices, it can take up to 24 hours to start updating, even with the deadline in place. And, device activity is a big driver of overall organizational update success... devices that are on intermittently are very difficult to update on time. Much work has gone into making the Windows Update client as robust as possible, even in these situations, but sometimes we can't overcome end user behavior!
