# Walkthrough: Use CSPs and MDMs to configure Windows Update for Business

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/AllwMUUpdateService](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-update#update-allowmuupdateservice).
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. If you want to disable driver updates for some reason, use Update/[ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-update#update-excludewudriversinqualityupdate).

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 will automatically schedule a restart regardless of active hours.

# Enforcing compliance deadlines for updates
Deploying feature or quality updates for many organizations is only part of the equation for managing their device ecosystem. The ability to enforce update compliance is the next important part. Windows Update for Business provides controls to manage deadlines for when devices should migrate to newer versions.
With a current version, it's best to use the new policy introduced in June 2019 to Windows 10, version 1709 and later: **Specify deadlines for automatic updates and restarts**. In MDM, this policy is available as four separate settings:

- Update/ConfigureDeadlineForFeatureUpdates
- Update/ConfigureDeadlineForQualityUpdates
- Update/ConfigureDeadlineGracePeriod
- Update/ConfigureDeadlineNoAutoReboot

## Policy setting overview
## Policy setting overview for clients running Windows 11, version 22H2 and later
|Policy| Description |
|-|-|
| Specify deadlines for automatic updates and restarts | This policy lets you specify the number of days before quality and feature updates are installed on devices automatically, and a grace period, after which required restarts occur automatically. This policy includes an option to opt out of automatic restarts until the end of the grace period is reached. |
### Suggested configurations for clients running Windows 11, version 22H2 and later
| Policy | Location | Quality updates deadline in days | Quality updates grace period in days | Feature updates deadline in days | Feature updates grace period in days |
|-|-|-|-|-|-|
| Specify deadlines for automatic updates and restarts | GPO: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Specify deadlines for automatic updates and restarts | 7 | 2 | 2 | 7 |
When **Specify deadlines for automatic updates and restarts** is set:
The deadline calculation for both quality and feature updates is based off the time the client's update scan initially discovered the update. Previously, the deadline was based off the release date of the update for quality updates and the reboot pending date for feature updates. The change for deadline calculation was made to improve the predictability of restart.
The grace period for both quality and feature updates starts its countdown from the time of a pending restart after the installation is complete. As soon as installation is complete and the device reaches pending restart, users are able to schedule restarts during the grace period and Windows can still automatically restart outside of active hours if users choose not to schedule restarts. Once the *effective deadline* is reached, the device tries to restart during active hours. (The effective deadline is whichever is the later of the restart pending date plus the specified deadline or the restart pending date plus the grace period.) Grace periods are useful for users who may be coming back from vacation, or other extended time away from their device, to ensure a forced reboot doesn't occur immediately after they return.
> [!NOTE]
> When **Specify deadlines for automatic updates and restarts** is used, download, installation, and reboot settings stemming from the [Configure Automatic Updates](waas-restart.md#schedule-update-installation) are ignored.

| (Windows 10, version 1709 and later) Specify deadlines for automatic updates and restarts | This policy includes a deadline and a configurable grace period with the option to opt out of automatic restarts until the deadline is reached.

## Suggested configurations

When **Specify deadlines for automatic updates and restarts** is set (Windows 10, version 1709 and later):
For feature updates, the deadline and grace period start their countdown from the time of a pending restart after the installation is complete. As soon as installation is complete and the device reaches pending restart, the device will try to update outside of active hours. Once the *effective deadline* is reached, the device will try to restart during active hours. (The effective deadline is whichever is the later of the restart pending date plus the specified deadline or the restart pending date plus the grace period.)

(The effective deadline is whichever is the later of the restart pending date plus the specified deadline or the restart pending date plus the grace period.)
For quality updates, the deadline countdown starts from the time the update is *offered* (not downloaded or installed). The grace period countdown starts from the time of the pending restart. The device will try to download and install the update at a time based on your other download and installation policies (the default is to automatically download and install in in the background). When the pending restart time is reached, the device will notify the user and try to update outside of active hours. Once the effective deadline is reached, the device will try to restart during active hours.
