Windows Auto Patch vs Intune Update Rings
Does Microsoft have anything documented to explain the differences between Auto Patch and Update rings? Aside from the obvious of Microsoft managing Auto Patching, is that really the largest benefit...
Cyrol75 In my case, I found that Autopatch did not save me much time, as my update rings were already similar to Autopatch's rings. The main benefit of Autopatch for me would be the reporting features, which are not available with update rings.

MicrosoftThanks a ton for the feedback and great to hear the reports are helping! I agree, if you've already got your update rings set up then policy management aspect isn't huge since you've already done that work! The place where you're likely to see more benefit is leveraging features like Autopatch Groups to better segment and distribute your devices between different rings.
Out of curiosity, could you elaborate more on which update tasks specifically you'd see as the most beneficial for Autopatch to take on from the customer?
