In this case, the Hybrid Azure AD device record takes precedence over the Azure AD registered device record for any type of authentication in Azure AD, which makes the Azure AD registered device record stale. It's recommended to detect and clean up stale devices in Azure AD before registering devices with Windows Autopatch, see [How To: Manage state devices in Azure AD](/azure/active-directory/devices/manage-stale-devices).
