Windows Autopatch: Your playbook for advanced update management
Event details
I am more concerned about Dynamic Device Assignment. it makes more work to add manually device to correct RING.
With Autopatch Groups, you have the flexibility to either use Dynamic Device Assignment or manually assign devices to rings via Entra groups.
Could you share more details on the challenges you're facing with Dynamic Device Assignment? This is an area we're exploring for improvements, and your feedback would help us enhance the experience.

So this was challenge I was talking about. Support you have 10000 Devices. and it took 90% devices in Broad Ring, But I want Some device in pilot groups as I have approx. 30 devices to add in Test Group.
Now, as a solution I was wondering if I have autopatch feature where in I can add More Dynamic queries where we deicede which devices move to which RING.
example: 30 Device Contains DevTest naming Convention, No I wanted to keep in 2 wave. So if I would have option on Autopatch where i can use for device assigment.
In Result Each Office, Edge, Windows, driver update will go accordingly. I don't have play with each Autopatch group.- Ryan_WilliamsMar 05, 2025Brass Contributor
Our recommended approach is to create a dynamic membership group and directly assign that Entra Group to your desired ring.
In the scenario you described, you could use the deviceDisplayName property to create a dynamic Entra group that automatically includes devices with the 'DevTest' naming convention.
