Event details
HeyHey16K Great question! Today, Fresh Start resets the device to its current OS version and doesn't automatically pull the latest Feature Update during the provisioning flow. Feature Update policies via Windows Update for Business kick in after enrollment and policy sync, so the upgrade happens post-provisioning rather than inline.
We know this creates a gap — especially compared to the Quality Update improvements you mentioned. I don't have a specific roadmap commitment to share today on making Feature Updates download automatically between Fresh Start and Autopilot build, but it's feedback we're tracking. I'd encourage you to submit/upvote this at https://aka.ms/IntuneFeedback so the team can prioritize it.
In the meantime, you can target devices with a Feature Update policy in Intune so the upgrade begins shortly after enrollment completes.
