Windows Autopatch is designed to streamline the update process for Windows devices, aiming to achieve a 95% compliance rate by their target installation date. Users must meet certain prerequisites, including managing updates through Microsoft Intune or Microsoft Graph. Intune integrates Windows Autopatch directly, making it easier to deploy updates effectively. Hotpatching is a key feature that allows full security updates to be applied without waiting for a device restart, potentially speeding up the process by days. Administrators can control which updates are automatically deployed or require manual approval, and it's recommended to roll out updates gradually. Creating a Windows Autopatch group simplifies managing devices, approval strategies, and rollout schedules. Reporting is another important aspect of Windows Autopatch. Once devices are enrolled in a policy, updates are reflected in under four hours, allowing administrators to track both trends and individual device statuses. Alerts notify users of any issues that may hinder updates. For those looking to automate, Windows Autopatch offers programmatic controls via the Microsoft Graph API, enabling management through API calls or integration with Intune. This flexibility allows for tailored update management strategies.
