You set the update policies and managed devices go to Windows Update to do your bidding. Again, no individual updates are selected, managed, or downloaded by Intune. Just let WUfB do all the heavy lifting while you manage the update (quality and/or feature) rollout strategy by assigning the appropriate polices to the appropriate devices via update rings. It’s really a simplified experience from how we’ve managed software updates on-premises in the past. You can delete a ring, pause it to ensure devices stop installing updates for whatever reason, extend that pause indefinitely, or even uninstall the latest round of updates installed by update ring settings. Going beyond the update ring settings, you can manage the actual update ring itself.
There’s more to it than what I’ve shown here including setting active times to install updates, restart checks, user experience settings, and deadlines. These range from the servicing channel to target the device with, optional updates, Windows drivers (not non-Microsoft drivers), deferral periods, and even feature uninstall periods that allow your users to reclaim disk space consumed backup files kept when applying a feature update. That being said, there are still quite a few WUfB settings that you can control to tailor the update experience for your users. There’s no other magic Intune is doing to provide granular control over which updates get installed. They’re used to manage Windows Update for Business (WUfB) settings on Windows 10 computers. Update rings are used to get your managed Windows 10 devices up to date-and keep them that way. Microsoft Intune uses Windows 10 Update Rings to get this job done. So now all we need to do is ensure that our devices have the latest update, not just certain individual updates included in the roll-up, installed. Windows 10 cumulative updates contain security patches, new Windows drivers, and quality fixes. With Windows 10, feature and quality updates are cumulative-they contain the contents of all previously released updates for your Windows version.
Managing software updates has gotten easier since cumulative updates were introduced starting with Windows 7.
