Greetings team;

Subject:

Change Freeze Scenario: Windows Application Update Cycle via Enterprise App Catalog or Third-Party Integration (PatchMyPC)

Current Behavior:
Unlike Windows OS updates, application updates cannot be paused or controlled.
Once a new version of software 'XYZ' is released and approved by the IT Admin, it is automatically deployed without an option to pause/delay the rollout.
While Windows OS updates include a built-in pause functionality, this feature is not available for applications.
In the context of a Change Freeze period, to mimic the same logic, a manual intervention is required.

Additionally:

• The toast notification shown to end users is very basic and lacks customization options previously available in SCCM.
• End users cannot choose to postpone the software update.

Question/Expectation:
Has this scenario already been considered? Is there a roadmap or estimated timeline for introducing functionality in Intune that allows better control over the application update cycle?

Thx 👽👾
