Manage the Release schedule

[!INCLUDE windows-autopatch-applies-to-all-licenses]

Windows Autopatch provides a unique update experience and a single view for all your current quality, feature, and driver and firmware releases. This view:

  • Consolidates all your applicable policies into a view consolidated by releases
  • Provides an all-up summary of the current release applicable to your tenant

When you select a release, Windows Autopatch provides a list view of associated policies and metrics including:

  • Start and end dates
  • percentage complete

These metrics are a summary of the individual workload views that should be used to manage your updates.

Note

The device count metric is only available if you have Windows Enterprise E3+ or F3 licenses (included in Microsoft 365 F3, E3, or E5) licenses and have activated Windows Autopatch features.

Feature activation is optional and at no additional cost to you if you have Windows 10/11 Enterprise E3 or E5 (included in Microsoft 365 F3, E3, or E5) licenses.

For more information, see Licenses and entitlements. If you choose not to go through feature activation, you can still use the Windows Autopatch service for the features included in Business premium and A3+ licenses.
