@JenMsft @MagpieMcGraw @MagpieMcGraw's suggestion is a great idea and should be built into Windows instead of requiring users to install another tool.

[gd @gdcsp]

@kugi_igi @JenMsft Agreed 1000%

@ariaupdated Thank you for the offer!
Which logs are you looking for? I didn't report this through Feedback Hub. Also, should we take this private?

[gd @gdcsp]

@ariaupdated There's still nothing in this link indicating your PSA

[gd @gdcsp]

@mniehaus So you posted the competitor’s crappy image to spite ChatGPT! 😉 ChatGPT probably learned its lesson and won’t do it again. 😁

[gd @gdcsp]

@mniehaus Way better. I gave up trying to decipher the image in the blog post after about 5 seconds. With this diagram, you can actually understand what’s going on. Not sure why this wasn’t used in the post instead, you could always add a disclaimer.

@ariaupdated Re: Intune Drivers:
1. Can’t sync all profiles at once
2. No visibility into which devices a driver applies to
3. Approvals require a date (not marked as required) and fail with a confusing error if omitted
4. Driver availability itself is inconsistent & basically a nightmare

@ariaupdated Re: point 3 in https://t.co/UCfYB0OYVg - if a restart is performed using shutdown -r, will pending updates still be installed, as they were until now?

[gd @gdcsp]

@ariaupdated Assuming it only worked because 25H2 is an EKB, I’d like to suggest a feature request: add a way to trigger full upgrades (like 23H2→24H2 or likely 25H2→26H2) on reboot, maybe a switch for shutdown.exe?
Looking forward to your next NY visit I hope we won’t have to wait too long

[gd @gdcsp]

@ariaupdated Did you have a chance to check on this?

Also, I was very disappointed to miss you in NY recently, I somehow missed your post. Will you be back soon?

And lastly, did you mention that you guys working on the Intune Drivers feature? So far, I’ve been pretty disappointed with it.

But with 24H2 → 25H2, a normal reboot worked. I assumed that’s because 25H2 is an enablement package, which makes me wonder about 26H2, since I assume that won’t be EKB.

[gd @gdcsp]

@ariaupdated (1 of 2)
Do you mean you don’t think it’s due to the EKB, or not a design change?
We upgraded 100s of PCs, they were all installed and pending reboot. In 23H2 → 24H2, they didn't install during our standard weekly reboot cadence (ended up using a registry workaround).

[gd @gdcsp]

@ariaupdated Great, glad to hear that - I was concerned about our workflow as well.
BTW, when upgrading from Win 11 23H2 to 24H2, shutdown.exe didn’t install the update, but it did when moving to 25H2. Is that a design change, or because 25H2 is an enablement package?

[gd @gdcsp]

@mniehaus @miketerrill @ariaupdated Since you were on the inside, can you help us mere mortals understand what goes on behind the scenes? Specifically, once something good finally gets implemented, what triggers someone to say, 'It’s finally working as it should—let’s start discussing how to change it again'?

[gd @gdcsp]

@mniehaus @PJ_Marcum @miketerrill @ariaupdated Hmm, are you suggesting that the monthly non-security updates are not previews?? I never installed them because of the preview label

[gd @gdcsp]

@KiPos_info @ariaupdated @Bahusafoo @Microsoft @Windows And on the note of blocking updates, being able to block drivers that some algorithm decided that I "absolutely" need even though it's a bad driver or even just older than my existing driver (and don't tell to use some cab file)

[gd @gdcsp]

@ariaupdated @IntuneSuppTeam Setting the 'Feature update deferral period (days)' setting in Intune Update Rings to 0 is enough to get newer Feature Update or I need to use the Windows feature update policy?

[gd @gdcsp]

@gwblok @ariaupdated What's the ETA for the game release? Can't wait to play it

[gd @gdcsp]

@IntuneSuppTeam Thank you for the reply, by the time that you responded I left work already and the next day it seemed to have straightened out and now it's working (until next time 😕)

[gd @gdcsp]

@IntuneSuppTeam Did you get any other reports of Intune not being able to add any assignments in Apps/Configurations profiles/Scrips (those are the places that I tested)?
