In Intune is there a way to automate the extension on the "pause updates" on the update rings please? Currently "pause updates" expires every 35 days and we have to (remember to) manually extend it again ourselves? Thank you 🙂

Jun 20, 2024This is a function of WUfB: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/waas-configure-wufb, the pause is a period of up to 35 days. So this is a limitation of how the pause is configured versus a limitation in Intune. If you are skipping monthly updates, you are putting your devices at a security risk, so please be careful with extending beyond a month.
