As an IT admin, your job is to keep the devices and the people who use them in your organization protected and productive. Part of that is centered on the update experience, and today we want to announce some new capabilities that will make that experience better than ever.
Windows 11 will soon enable you to have an update experience more tailored to your organization and a more user-friendly experience. If you are running Windows Insider Preview Build 21277 or later, you can take advantage of new capabilities in the native Windows Update experience and leverage the native update experience with Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager.
Use the step-by-step guides below or watch the accompanying demos to learn what’s coming soon and how you can preview these new capabilities today.
Configuration Manager: leveraging the native Windows Update experience
Configuration Manager is one of Microsoft’s management solutions, along with Intune, Desktop Analytics, Windows Autopilot, and others, all of which form part of the Microsoft Endpoint Manager brand. In June of 2021, we announced a preview of several features to improve user experience with updates, among them enabling Configuration Manager customers to leverage the native Windows Update orchestration and user experience. This enables you to give your end users the same or similar update experience to what they see on their home devices or what they would see if managed by Windows Update for Business. Even better, this means that when you start transitioning certain update workloads to the cloud, end users will have the same great update experience across the board, regardless of where they are getting the update from, be it Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or Windows Update.
