How to set Blackout Window in Intune?

Oct 20, 2022If you are looking for daily "don't reboot" timeframes, you can set Active Hours in Update Rings. We actually recommend setting the Automatic update behavior to "Reset to default" which will enable "Intelligent Active Hours" on devices, which are also then configurable by the end user. That way each user can adapt to their work habits. For machines where you need to set it specifically, you can set Automatic Update Behavior to "Install and restart at maintenance time", which will show the active hours start and end times.
If you are actually asking about being able to essentially "stop updates" for a period of days, say for testing week in a school, or the week before quarterly financial reports for the finance org... that is a feature we would like to be able to bring to Windows Update for Business sometime. In the meantime, you can use "Pause" updates to accomplish this, albeit a bit more manually.
- WZebSmithOct 20, 2022Brass ContributorMore of an observation than a question, but has any thought been given to the idea of creating a "Use recommended configuration" button in Intune that would create a policy using all of the "recommended" settings such as this one? It would remove a lot of guesswork and still give admins a chance to choose to deviate and go down a different path if needed.
