Hi, what should we do with 'old' expedite profiles to avoid conflicts of having two profiles on some devices as it was reported in a tech community post that it can lead to conflicts?
Get the most out of expedited Windows quality updates - Microsoft Community Hub
When would be the best time to delete the old profiles?

Windows Update for Business deployment service will choose the latest selected quality update to act on, so as long as you don't have the device in two expedite policies targeting the same update with different reboot settings (since if they are the same, we know what to do), expedite will be able to work. There are different approaches you can take, all should work, with different pros and cons. A) you can delete the old expedite policy and create a new one. This will delete reporting data as well, but keeps your list of expedited updates nice and clean. B) you can just update the target version in the expedite policy, and change assignments if you like. This also deletes the reporting data and is actually pretty similar to A, maybe a few less steps. C) finally, you can just add a new expedite policy each time... as I mentioned the system will apply the latest, and will also maintain reports. HTH -David
