Both feature and quality updates are automatically offered to devices that are connected to Windows Update using Windows Update for Business policies. However, you can choose whether you want the devices to additionally receive other Microsoft Updates or drivers that are applicable to that device.
To enable Microsoft Updates, use [Update/AllowMUUpdateService](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-update#update-allowmuupdateservice).

Drivers are automatically enabled because they're beneficial to device systems. We recommend that you allow the driver policy to allow drivers to be updated on devices (the default), but you can turn off this setting if you prefer to manage drivers manually.

1. Ensure that you're enrolled in the Windows Insider Program for Business. Windows Insider is a free program available to commercial customers to aid them in their validation of feature updates before they're released. Joining the program enables you to receive updates prior to their release as well as receive emails and content related to what is coming in the next updates.

Additionally, you can defer prerelease feature updates the same way as released updates, by setting a deferral period up to 14 days by using [Update/DeferFeatureUpdatesPeriodInDays](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-update#update-deferfeatureupdatesperiodindays). If you're testing with Windows Insider Program Slow builds, we recommend that you receive the preview updates to your IT department on day 0, when the update is released, and then have a 7-10 day deferral before rolling out to your group of testers. This schedule helps ensure that if a problem is discovered, you can pause the rollout of the preview update before it reaches your tests.

#### I want to manage which released feature update my devices receive
A Windows Update for Business administrator can defer or pause updates. You can defer feature updates for up to 365 days and defer quality updates for up to 30 days. Deferring simply means that you don't receive the update until it has been released for at least the number of deferral days you specified (offer date = release date + deferral date). You can pause feature or quality updates for up to 35 days from a given start date that you specify.

#### I want to stay on a specific version
If you need a device to stay on a version beyond the point when deferrals on the next version would elapse or if you need to skip a version (for example, update fall release to fall release) use the [Update/TargetReleaseVersion](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-update#update-targetreleaseversion) (or Deploy Feature Updates Preview in Intune) instead of using feature update deferrals. When you use this policy, specify the version that you want your device(s) to move to or stay on (for example, "1909"). You can find version information at the [Windows 10 Release Information Page](/windows/release-health/release-information).

If you don't set an automatic update policy, the device attempts to download, install, and restart at the best times for the user by using built-in intelligence such as intelligent active hours and smart busy check.

It's best to refrain from setting the active hours policy because it's enabled by default when automatic updates aren't disabled and provides a better experience when users can set their own active hours.

#### I want to keep devices secure and compliant with update deadlines
We recommend that you use set specific deadlines for feature and quality updates to ensure that devices stay secure on Windows 10, version 1709 and later. Deadlines work by enabling you to specify the number of days that can elapse after an update is offered to a device before it must be installed. Also you can set the number of days that can elapse after a pending restart before the user is forced to restart. Use these settings:
- [Update/ConfigureDeadlineForFeatureUpdates](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-update#update-configuredeadlineforfeatureupdates)
- [Update/ConfigureDeadlineForQualityUpdates ](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-update#update-configuredeadlineforqualityupdates)

- [Update/ConfigureDeadlineNoAutoReboot](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-update#configuredeadlinenoautoreboot)
These policies also offer an option to opt out of automatic restarts until a deadline is reached by presenting an "engaged restart experience" until the deadline has actually expired. At that point, the device automatically schedules a restart regardless of active hours.

#### I want to manage the update settings a user can access
Every Windows device provides users with various controls they can use to manage Windows Updates. They can access these controls by Search to find Windows Updates or by going selecting **Updates and Security** in **Settings**. We provide the ability to disable a variety of these controls that are accessible to users.

You can prevent users from pausing updates through the Windows Update settings page by using [Update/SetDisablePauseUXAccess](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-update#update-setdisablepauseuxaccess).
