Session Description

Windows Autopatch is a service that automates the process of updating Windows and Microsoft 365 Apps. It shifts the burden of planning and operating the update process from your IT team to Microsoft, freeing up your IT team to focus on other activities and tasks.

We will cover the benefits of automatic update management, automatic driver, and firmware update- and feature management, and the benefits of a managed Windows Autopatch service.

However, what happens when the *benefits of a managed Windows Autopatch service* does not match your requirements, if adjustments are needed, or maybe even, opt-out of parts of Windows Autopatch.

In this session we will share our real-life experiences and our Best Practices implementing Windows Autopatch in their organizations, highlighting the benefits and challenges of this feature.

We will share our experience controlling driver and firmware updates with Windows Autopatch, including how to set driver and firmware updates to automatic or self-managed mode, and how to view driver and firmware policies created by Windows Autopatch, diving in to centralized control and visibility over the update process, as well as additional features such as reporting, compliance, and troubleshooting.

Learning objectives:

  • Understand the benefits of automatic update- and feature management, such as improved security, performance, and reliability of Windows 10 & 11 devices.
  • Understand the benefits of automatic driver and firmware update management, such as enhanced compatibility, stability, and functionality of hardware components.
  • Learn from the real-world experiences and Best Practices, from deployments of Windows Autopatch in global organizations.
  • Explore the features and benefits of a managed Windows Autopatch service, such as centralized control, visibility, reporting, compliance, and troubleshooting and customization.

Target audience:

This session is intended for IT professionals who are responsible for deploying and managing Windows 10 and 11 devices in their organizations, and who are interested in learning more about Windows Autopatch and its related solutions.
