# Exclude a device
|
|
|
|
To avoid end-user disruption, excluding a device in Windows Autopatch only deletes the Windows Autopatch device record itself. Excluding a device can't delete the Microsoft Intune and/or the Microsoft Entra device records. Microsoft assumes you'll keep managing those devices yourself in some capacity.
|
|
|
|
When you exclude a device from the Windows Autopatch service, the device is flagged as **excluded** so Windows Autopatch doesn't try to restore the device into the service again, since the exclusion command doesn't trigger device membership removal from the **Windows Autopatch Device Registration** group, or any other Microsoft Entra group, used with Autopatch groups.
|
|
|
|
> [!IMPORTANT]
|
|
> The Microsoft Entra team doesn't recommend appending query statements to remove specific device from a dynamic query due to dynamic query performance issues.
|
|
|
|
**To exclude a device:**
|
|
|
|
1. Sign into the [Intune admin center](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2109431).
|
|
1. Select **Windows Autopatch** in the left navigation menu.
|
|
1. Select **Devices**.
|
|
1. In either the **Ready** or **Not ready** tab, select the device(s) you want to exclude.
|
|
1. Once a device or multiple devices are selected, select **Device actions**. Then, select **Exclude device**.
|
|
|
|
> [!WARNING]
|
|
> Excluding devices from the Windows Autopatch Device Registration group, or any other Microsoft Entra group, used with Autopatch groups doesn't exclude devices from the Windows Autopatch service.
|
|
|
|
## Only view excluded devices
|
|
|
|
You can view the excluded devices in the **Not registered** tab to make it easier for you to bulk restore devices that were previously excluded from the Windows Autopatch service.
|
|
|
|
**To view only excluded devices:**
|
|
|
|
1. Sign into the [Intune admin center](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2109431).
|
|
1. Select **Windows Autopatch** in the left navigation menu.
|
|
1. Select **Devices**.
|
|
1. In the **Not registered** tab, select **Excluded** from the filter list. Leave all other filter options unselected.
|
|
|
|
## Restore a device or multiple devices previously excluded
|
|
|
|
**To restore a device or multiple devices previously excluded:**
|
|
|
|
1. Sign into the [Intune admin center](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2109431).
|
|
1. Select **Windows Autopatch** in the left navigation menu.
|
|
1. Select **Devices**.
|
|
1. In the **Not registered** tab, select the device(s) you want to restore.
|
|
1. Once a device or multiple devices are selected, select **Device actions**. Then, select **Restore excluded device**.
