We’ll have a full hour for this AMA so post your questions early and often We’re here to help you automate update management so you can focus on other activities and tasks.
This session is part of the Tech Community Live: Windows Edition. Visit https://aka.ms/TCL/Windows for the full agenda.
0:00 – Welcome & intro's
4:23 – Question – How do you recommend that we transition from Cloud update (config.office.com) to Autopatch for Office patches?
6:22 – Question – Any news/eta on the WUFB drivers improvements to align with WUFB deadlines and better visibility on which devices each drivers apply to?
8:49 – Question – How do I know which devices are getting hotpatched in my environment?
10:44 – Question – Is there a way to mitigate or control the reboots of extension drivers so not to have random reboots because devices get those driver updates in an uncontrolled manner when using wufb driver updates?

12:48 – Question – I have seen some information about an upcoming CVE dashboard for Windows Autopatch. What all will be needed to have access to that? Is Windows Defender agent required?
16:08 – Question – Will we be getting KB level reporting soon? Seeing exact KB updates per device, failed updates etc.?
17:29 – Question – With regards to Autopatch, what are the benefits it offers if we are not using a ring approach to patching? We currently patch using WUfB via Intune.
21:12 – Question – How do I know if devices in my tenant are hotpatch eligible?
22:27 – Question – Any ways to have feature updates install right away (like we can in ConfigMgr) and not have to wait hours/days for the update agent to decide that's it's time to start the installation after having create the update deployment?
25:18 – Question – We're still using WufB (i.e. Autopatch, but not proper Autopatch) on our Intune managed devices. How easy it to transition to proper Autopatch? Do any WuFB policies tattoo, or any gotchas we should be aware of please?
28:37 – Question – Is WUFB reports still a good place to check for updates compliance/issues or all improvements are coming to Intune reports, like shown at Ignite?
31:55 – Question – How do you suggest we troubleshoot locally on the device if it's not getting the Autopatch updates?
34:26 – Question – Where can I see if a hotpatch was properly applied, or failed to apply?
34:34 – Question – Are hotpatch events captured in ETW (event viewer)?
35:09 – Question – Does hotpatching work for Arm64 devices?
36:05 – Question – Is it possible to use Autopatch to just update Microsoft apps for Enterprise?
38:00 – Question – How do you recommend being able to just pause a specific update (for example 24h2) and not affect the other Win 11 builds (23-25h2) updates without having to create a new Update ring and exclude the devices we want to pause so we can pause them in the newly created ring.
41:26 – Question – Does hotpatching respect existing compliance deadline policies or active hours for baseline months?
43:45 – Question – Is there any update on including KB numbers in the expedite policy dropdown to make it more detailed and easier to identify the KB numbers?
44:57 – Question – If I need to rollback a hotpatch update, does it require a reboot for the rollback to get applied?
48:16 – Question – Is it possible to make sure drivers land during the Windows Update reboot phase? When display adapter drivers land it can cause the screen to go blank, and network adapters can result in interruption to service.
51:08 – Final tips & tricks
