IT administrators and enterprise device management teams needing to automate and streamline updates across enrolled corporate devices with minimal manual intervention
About Windows Autopatch
Windows Autopatch is a Microsoft cloud service that automates the delivery and management of software updates for Windows, Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise, Microsoft Edge, and Microsoft Teams to improve security, maintain productivity, and reduce administrative effort across an organization’s registered devices. It helps close security gaps by keeping systems current with the latest quality and feature updates, and it closes productivity gaps by adopting and deploying new features as they become available, freeing IT professionals from routine update planning and deployment so they can focus on higher-value tasks. Autopatch minimizes end-user disruption by using phased rollout sequences and sequential deployment rings that respond to reliability and compatibility signals, reducing the risk of widespread issues while communicating progress through the update cycle.
