    Microsoft updated the docs to make it clear, that when Telemetry is set to Zero, the deferral policies do not take affect and you make get the feature updates.

    Here are the links to the updated Docs

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/waas-overview

    Important Devices on the Semi-Annual Channel (formerly called Current Branch for Business) must have their diagnostic data set to 1 (Basic) or higher, in order to ensure that the service is performing at the expected quality. If diagnostic data is set to 0, the device will be treated as if it were in the Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted)(formerly called Current Branch or CB) branch. For instructions to set the diagnostic data level, see Configure the operating system diagnostic data level.

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/waas-configure-wufb

    Note Users will not be able to change this setting if it was configured by policy. Important Devices on the Semi-Annual Channel (formerly called Current Branch for Business) must have their diagnostic data set to 1 (Basic) or higher, in order to ensure that the service is performing at the expected quality. If diagnostic data is set to 0, the device will be treated as if it were in the Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted)(formerly called Current Branch or CB) branch. For instructions to set the diagnostic data level, see Configure the operating system diagnostic data level.

Fellow MVP, not behind a domain, therefore no WSUS/dual scan, telemetry on. 

This is not the first time that feature releases have come down when they clearly should have respected the block.

Is there any News available.

 

I have set a Policy to my Clients that they dont check the MS Update Websites in order to stop the deployment. But this will lead to a lack of security. I want to use the normal semi annual channel with the acutal Build (1709 and not 1803) and defer the Installation like offered in the Policy. I have also set the telemetry to value 0 which is the same like 1 for Enterprise users.

 

Many thanks for any Feedback.

Thomas
