“Windows Autopatch makes the updating process secure, seamless, and productive.”
Major Updates to Features
Several enhancements have been rolled out recently. Notably, Windows Autopatch now provides full update management for Windows Education and Business Premium subscriptions. This expansion means organizations can now access:
- Automatic security updates

Moreover, reporting latency has significantly decreased from over a day to just four hours. This improvement allows organizations to gain insights faster, optimizing their update processes.
What’s Important to Know?
The former Windows Update for Business has been renamed to Windows Update client policies. This change reflects the expanded capabilities available to all organizations, not just businesses. The core function remains unchanged, allowing users to dictate how Windows Update behaves on their devices.
“Windows Update client policies more accurately describe the core function: policies that dictate how Windows Update behaves on your devices.”
