 Unlike Windows update, the Office CDN doesn't make the update available to all devices at once. Over the course of the release, the Office CDN gradually makes the update available to the whole population of devices. Windows Autopatch doesn't control the order in which updates are offered to devices across your estate. After the update has been downloaded, there's a seven day [update deadline](/deployoffice/configure-update-settings-microsoft-365-apps) that specifies how long the user has until the user must apply the update.
