Backup is now the default on eligible Windows 11 26H2 devices. Restore still is not. Settings leave the device on an eight-day schedule whether or not you configured anything, and a refresh without an explicit restore policy gives users no payoff. Audit EnableWindowsbackup policy state, eligibility scope, and the July 2026 ESR management move before the refresh wave hits.
Windows 11 24H2 Home and Pro need a confirmed upgrade, not just an assigned policy. Separate supported Enterprise devices, check prerequisites and restart completion, then validate the Intune trouter wildcard before retiring old exceptions.
Cisco Secure Access, Tanium, and Clever MFA TrustPass are now GA as Edge for Business connectors. If you already run any of the three, here is the config-and-verify path.
Windows Cloud Rebuild reinstalls the OS from Windows Update — image and drivers, no USB — even when Windows won’t boot. It’s Experimental-channel pre-release, not GA yet, so validate it in the lab first.
As of July 1, Microsoft folded EPM, Cloud PKI, and Advanced Analytics into M365 E5 (select pieces into E3). If you manage E5/E3 clients, they now own tooling they were paying extra for — here’s the enable-first order and a per-tenant checklist.
Microsoft Defender for Linux now supports scheduled scans, and Edge Stable shifts to a two-week release cycle on August 27. MSPs need to make two configuration decisions now: close the Linux scan gap and choose the right Edge channel per client.
If your helpdesk still opens an Intune diagnostics bundle and starts grepping through files by hand, Stefan Röll has a useful shortcut: run GitHub Copilot CLI in the extracted log folder and ask it to build the first pass. The important part is the boundary. This is not a native Intune integration, and it is not autopilot for remediation. It is a faster way to turn a dense bundle into a timeline, likely root cause, and RCA draft that an admin still has to verify.
