Anything in the pipeline to be able to disable Optional Updates from appearing within Windows using either Intune CSP's or Windows Update Ring policies?

Jun 15, 2023Hi Nick, if you have deferrals configured for feature and/or quality updates you will not see any optional updates offered to the device by default.
- nlmitchellJun 15, 2023Iron ContributorHi Aria, thanks for your reply. We have both Quality and Feature Updates set to '0' days deferral as having them as anything other than that has caused us problems previously. Optional updates are not installed automatically, but they are sat there in Windows Updates Settings for the user to apply and just wondered if there was a way to stop them appearing via an Intune policy?

When you look at the Update Settings page and policies configured (or the regkey paths) do you set that the deferral policies are actually being configured? Note, we are considering adding a new policy that would allow you enable optional updates as optional or to completely disable them, but it is not yet available.- nlmitchellJun 15, 2023Iron ContributorSetting the deferral values to 0 via the Update Rings Policy and that is mirrored in the registry on the end user devices. The ability to disable optional updates via the same policy would be awesome
