Additionally, this capability enables you to keep devices on their current version until they reach end of service. Check it out in Intune, also available as a Group Policy and Configuration Service Provider (CSP) policy. + - **Validation improvements**: To ensure devices and end users stay productive and protected, Microsoft blocks devices from updating when there are known issues that would impact that device. Also, to better enable IT administrators to validate on the latest release, a new policy is available that enables admins to opt devices out of the built-in safeguard holds. - [**Automatic Restart Sign-on (ARSO)**](/windows-server/identity/ad-ds/manage/component-updates/winlogon-automatic-restart-sign-on--arso-): Windows automatically signs in as the user and locks their device in order to complete the update.

In addition, there's a new notification and reboot scheduling experience for end users, the ability to enforce update installation and reboot deadlines, and the ability to provide end user control over reboots for a specific time period. + - **Update rollback improvements**: You can now automatically recover from startup failures by removing updates if the startup failure was introduced after the installation of recent driver or quality updates. When a device is unable to start up properly after the recent installation of Quality of driver updates, Windows will now automatically uninstall the updates to get the device back up and running normally. + - **Pause updates**: The ability to pause updates for both feature and monthly updates is extended. This extension ability is for all currently supported editions of Windows, including Home. You can pause both feature and monthly updates for up to 35 days (seven days at a time, up to five times). Once the 35-day pause period is reached, the device needs to update before pausing again. + - **Improved update notifications**: When there's an update requiring you to restart your device, a colored dot appears on the Power button in the Start menu and on the Windows icon in the taskbar. + - **Intelligent active hours**: To further enhance active hours, users now can let Windows Update intelligently adjust active hours based on their device-specific usage patterns. You must enable the intelligent active hours feature for the system to predict device-specific usage patterns. + - **Improved update orchestration to improve system responsiveness**: This feature improves system performance by intelligently coordinating Windows updates and Microsoft Store updates, so they occur when users are away from their devices to minimize disruptions.
