No, Windows Autopatch doesn't require any specific hardware. However, general hardware requirements for updates are still applicable. For example, to deliver Windows 11 to your Autopatch devices they must meet [specific hardware requirements](/windows/whats-new/windows-11-requirements). Windows devices must be supported by your hardware OEM.

- question: What is the expected behavior for turning on the Feature Update option for Autopatch groups?
|
||||
answer: |
|
||||
Starting in April 2025, default policies aren't created for new Autopatch customers. Existing customers will continue to receive support until Windows 10 reaches its End-of-Service (EOS). However, these policies won't transition to Windows 11.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you created an Autopatch group before April 2025:
|
||||
- The Feature Update option is unselected by default.
|
||||
- Selecting the Feature Update option creates a feature update policy for the newly created Autopatch group. This doesn't affect the Global DSS policy.
|
||||
- The Feature Update option doesn't affect existing releases created before April 2025; these releases remain unchanged
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you created an Autopatch group after April 2025:
|
||||
- Selecting the Feature Update option creates a feature update policy and assigns it to all its deployment rings.
|
||||
- Global DSS policy isn't affected.

- question: What is the default hotpatch behavior on Windows Home or Pro devices?

answer: |

Hotpatch updates aren't available to Home or Pro devices. Hotpatching requires domain admin or group policy. It's available only via Windows Autopatch update policy, which includes Windows 365 Enterprise, E3/E5, F3 and A3/A5 licenses.

Devices receiving the hotpatch update have a different KB number tracking the release and a different OS version than devices receiving the standard update that requires a restart. The monthly KB release articles indicate if the KB installed is hotpatch capable and the corresponding OS version. The following Windows Update message appears “Great news! The latest security update was installed without a restart.”
|

- question: What if I restart a device after receiving a hotpatch update?
|
||||
answer: |
|
||||
The device stays on the hotpatch update KB/OS version after a restart. It won't receive any new features as part of the regular servicing track until the next quarterly cumulative baseline update.

- question: Do hotpatch updates only update common system binaries loaded in third-party processes or only Microsoft processes?
|
||||
answer: |
|
||||
Hotpatch updates aren't limited to Microsoft processes. Hotpatch updates are only created for OS binaries. Any process loading OS binaries that have hotpatch updates installed are updated before the application or operating system uses the binaries. This includes common system dynamic link libraries (DLLs) like ntdll.dll.

|

- question: How can I find out if a hotpatch update was applied to the specific DLL?
|
||||
answer: |
|
||||
You can see the hotpatch modules in the memory dump. Symbols for hotpatched DLLs depend on the function that receives the update. Some code that is hotpatch-updated could be public (symbols), while other functions could be private (no symbols).

Yes, you can. You can manually download the standard Windows monthly update from the Microsoft Update Catalog. In this case, the device stops receiving hotpatch updates and receives standard Windows updates until the month after the next baseline update. Since the device is still enrolled in hotpatching, the device automatically rejoins the hotpatch cadence of updates after the update is released on the baseline month.

- question: How do hotpatch update events show up in audit logs?
|

answer: |
|

Process explorer shows it loaded in memory OS ``<binary name>_hotpatch`` loaded in memory. The hotpatch update KB includes a link to the CSV file listing the update payload.

answer: |

Hotpatch events are captured in the audit log. Search for “hotpatch” in the audit log to find related errors if any were captured.
