+# Update baseline
+
+**Applies to:** Windows 10
+
+With the large number of different policies offered for Windows 10, Update Baseline provides a clear list of recommended Windows Update policy settings for IT administrators who want the best user experience while also meeting their monthly update compliance goals. See [Policies included in the Update Baseline](#policies-included-in-the-update-baseline) for the full list of policy configurations. 
+
+## Why is Update Baseline needed? 
+
+Update Baseline is an industry-tested solution that improves update adoption rates while also maintaining a high-quality user experience. Whether you are just starting out, or you have been configuring policies for years, Update Baseline can help get you to a known good state with an excellent user experience. Applying the baseline is especially helpful for organizations that have many years of policy configurations to clear out lingering misconfigurations. 
+
+## You can use Update Baseline to: 
+
+- Ensure that user and device configuration settings are compliant with the baseline. 
+- Set configuration settings. You can use Group Policy to configure a device with the setting values specified in the baseline. 
+
+Update Baseline doesn't affect your offering policies, whether you’re using deferrals or target version to manage which updates are offered to your devices and when. 
+
+## Policies included in the Update Baseline 
+
+The Update Baseline configures settings in these Group Policy areas:
+
+- System/Power Management
+- Windows Components/Delivery Optimization
+- Windows Components/Windows Update
+
+For the complete detailed list of all settings and their values, see the MSFT Windows Update.htm file in the [Update Baseline toolkit](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=101056) at the Download Center 
+
+## How do I get started? 
+
+The Update Baseline toolkit makes it easy by providing a single command for IT Admins to load the baseline settings into Group Policy Management Console. You can get the [Update Baseline toolkit](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=101056) from the Download Center. 
+
+Today, the Update Baseline toolkit is currently only available for use with Group Policy.
