Question

Your organization has enrolled all Windows 11 devices into Windows Autopatch. Management wants a small pilot population to receive quality updates first, with the bulk of devices receiving them roughly one week later, so that any problematic update can be caught before broad deployment. Which Autopatch capability should you use to meet this requirement with the least administrative effort?

Accepted Answer

Use the default Autopatch update rings (Test, First, Fast, Broad) which automatically stagger the deployment of quality updates across device populations

Answer

Create multiple Intune Windows Update rings manually with different deferral periods and assign them to separate Entra ID groups

Answer

Configure a Windows 11 feature update policy targeting a specific version and assign it to the pilot group only

Answer

Enable Expedite quality updates for the pilot group and disable Delivery Optimization for the broad group
