    A little less than 20 minutes left in today's Office Hours. Please keep your questions coming if you have them. We'll be taking a break in December, but we'll see you again in January (and every third Thursday) 2023!

    Will the new WUFB Reports track the installation of .Net and driver updates?  Will this replace Update Compliance and the Waas* Tables in the near future?

      Hi Sitorn, WUfB-Reports will track driver updates if you are using Intune or Windows Update for Business deployment service for deploying drivers. It won't track .Net updates initially, but that's something we'd very much like to include. Great to hear you are interested in both. -David

    Hi, we're testing autopilot in Hybrid AD Join. We have users in several countries and different languages, so our enrollment starts by letting the user select region and keyboard layout. The process completes successfully but no matter what, all devices get into the US time zone, ignoring the region settings specified at the beginning, any ideas here? Thank you

      One thing you could check is whether the device is sync'ing time with the domain controller. Or if the domain controller is in the US region.

    I noticed with this month's updates on Windows 11 22H2, a one-day deferral for quality updates led to only the Cumulative Update for Windows being delayed by one day but the Cumulative Update for .NET Framework and the Malicious Software Removal Tool showed up immediately. I noted this behavior on multiple devices. The Cumulative Update for Windows showed up the next day after my one-day deferral. Is this expected behavior moving forward? I would expect the quality update deferral to apply to all non-feature updates. We don't want clients to get the .NET update and be prompted for restart, do it, then get another update the next day that also requires a restart.

      Hi Joe, thanks for calling this out. This is a known issue and something we are working on fixing. 🙂

        Is there anywhere to track progress on this so I know when it's been fixed? Would it show up on the "What's new in Microsoft Intune" page for example?

      We've got a lot of Intune folks here too. Ask away and we'll try and get you an answer! This was your question, correct? "Any updates on adding in the Notifications permission for Android App Configurations in Intune?"

        Hi pwkfisher, We are actively tracking the ask for the addition of notifications permission to Android App Configurations, but unfortunately don't have any timelines to share.

    What can be done to help devices get policies faster? Same for actions like Wipe/reset/reboot? Asking because we often see, like others in the community reported that it doesn't come down to the devices or it does but hours/days later? thks

      For us, the complaint has been around Wipe actions. Wipe actions normally trigger quickly (under a minute). And with our PCs being fully managed and user data synchronized, our techs have begun to use them as a relatively painless cure all. "Sorry to hear you are having trouble with your PC. I will wipe your PC and it will be like new within 30 to 40 minutes." Unfortunately, after making that promise, it will sometimes take hours from the Wipe action being sent until the PC starts the Wipe.

      Are you seeing that devices are not getting the policies within 8 hours? Note - I believe devices need to be active to sync the policies
