- question: Can I configure when to move to the next ring or is it controlled by Windows Autopatch?
answer: |
You're in full control over when updates are deployed to their devices. Autopatch groups will recommend a set of intelligent defaults but those are fully customizable so that you can achieve your desired rollout.
- 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.
- name: Hotpatch updates
questions:
- question: What are the licensing requirements for hotpatch updates?
