# Windows quality update signals
|
||||
|
||||
Windows Autopatch monitors a specific set of signals and aims to release the monthly security update both quickly and safely. The service doesn't comprehensively monitor every use case in Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
If there's a scenario that is critical to your business, which isn't monitored by Windows Autopatch, you're responsible for testing and taking any follow-up actions, like requesting to pause the release.
|
||||
|
||||
## Pre-release signals
|
||||
|
||||
Before being released to the Test ring in the [Default Autopatch group](../deploy/windows-autopatch-groups-overview.md#about-the-default-autopatch-group), Windows Autopatch reviews several data sources to determine if we need to send any customer advisories or need to pause the update. Situations where Windows Autopatch doesn't release an update to the Test ring are seldom occurrences.
|
||||
|
||||
| Pre-release signal | Description |
|
||||
| ----- | ----- |
|
||||
| Windows Payload Review | The contents of the monthly security update release are reviewed to help focus your update testing on areas that have changed. If any relevant changes are detected, a [customer advisory](../operate/windows-autopatch-groups-windows-quality-update-communications.md#communications-during-release) will be sent out. |
|
||||
| Optional non-security preview release review - Internal Signals | Windows Autopatch reviews active incidents associated with the previous optional non-security preview release to understand potential risks in the monthly security update release. |
|
||||
| Optional non-security preview release review - Social Signals | Windows Autopatch monitors social signals to better understand potential risks associated with the monthly security update release. |
|
||||
|
||||
## Early signals
|
||||
|
||||
The update is released to the Test ring in the [Default Autopatch group](../deploy/windows-autopatch-groups-overview.md#about-the-default-autopatch-group) on the second Tuesday of the month. Those test devices will update, allowing you to conduct early testing of critical scenarios in your environment. There are also several Microsoft internal signals that are monitored throughout the release.
|
||||
|
||||
| Device reliability signal | Description | Microsoft will |
|
||||
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
|
||||
| Security Risk Profile | As soon as the update is released, the criticality of the security content is assessed. | <ul><li>Consider expediting the release</li><li>Update customers with a risk profile</li></ul>
|
||||
| B-Release - Internal Signals | Windows Autopatch reviews any active incidents associated with the current release. | <ul><li>Determine if a customer advisory is necessary</li><li>Pause the release if there's significant user impact</li></ul> |
|
||||
| B-Release - Social Signals | Windows Autopatch monitors social signals to understand risks associated with the release. | Determine if a customer advisory is necessary |
|
||||
|
||||
## Device reliability signals
|
||||
|
||||
Windows Autopatch monitors devices for a set of core reliability metrics as a part of the service.
|
||||
|
||||
The service then uses statistical models to assess if there are significant differences between the two Windows versions. To make a statistically significant assessment, Windows Autopatch requires that at least 500 devices in your tenant have upgraded to the new version.
|
||||
|
||||
As more devices update, the confidence of the analysis increases and gives us a clearer picture of release quality. If we determine that the user experience is impaired, Autopatch will either post a customer advisory or pause the release, depending on the criticality of the update.
|
||||
|
||||
Autopatch monitors the following reliability signals:
|
||||
|
||||
| Device reliability signal | Description |
|
||||
| ----- | ----- |
|
||||
| Blue screens | These events are highly disruptive to end users. These events are closely monitored. |
|
||||
| Overall app reliability | Tracks the total number of app crashes and freezes on a device. A known limitation with this measure is that if one app becomes 10% more reliable and another becomes 10% less reliable then it shows up as a flat line in the measure. |
|
||||
| Microsoft Office reliability | Tracks the number of Office crashes and freezes per application per device. |
|
||||
| Microsoft Edge reliability | Tracks the number of Microsoft Edge crashes and freezes per device. |
|
||||
| Microsoft Teams reliability | Tracks the number of Microsoft Teams crashes and freezes per device. |
|
||||
|
||||
When the update is released to the First ring in the [Default Autopatch group](../deploy/windows-autopatch-groups-overview.md#about-the-default-autopatch-group), the service crosses the 500 device threshold. Therefore, Autopatch can detect regressions that are common to all customers. At this point in the release, we'll decide if we need to expedite the release schedule or pause for all customers.
