Organizations that use Windows Update for Business will have added benefits, such as:
- Blocking the upgrade on non-eligible devices.
- Additional insight into safeguard holds. While safeguard holds will function for Windows Sun Valley devices just as they do for Windows 10 today, administrators using Windows Update for Business will have access to information on which safeguard holds are preventing individual devices from taking the upgrade to Windows Sun Valley.

Just like Windows 10, the machine learning based [intelligent rollout](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-it-pro-blog/using-machine-learning-to-improve-the-windows-10-update/ba-p/877860) process will be leveraged when rolling out upgrades. Machine learning uses a combination of testing, close partner engagement, feedback, diagnostic data, and real-life insights to manage quality. This improves the update experience and ensures that devices first nominated for updates are those likely to have a seamless experience. Devices that might have compatibility issues with the upgrade get the benefit of resolving these issues before the upgrade is offered.
