Intune - Quality Updates Expedite Policy Error

Question

Hello!

"I created a quality update profile for 'February 11, 2025—KB5051987 (OS Build 26100.3194)' for all Windows 11 24H2 devices that are missing the patch KB5051987. However, the Intune report shows that the majority of the devices are displaying the error 'Expedite client missing.' What is the fix for this error?

Here's the error:
E****rror type: Expedite client missing

Error description: The device does not have the necessary client in order to Expedite.

Severity: Error

Recommendation: Make sure you’re connected to Windows Update and manually trigger a scan to download and install the Expedite client. If you are still unable to scan and download the Expedite client, you can download the package here from Microsoft’s Download Center.

@Ahmed Alshatawi Thanks for posting in our Q&A.

For this issue, we appreciate your help to do some check:

1.Please make sure that the health update tools (Expedite client) are installed.

Run the following PowerShell command in the device and we will know if it is installed.

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object {$_.Name -match “Microsoft Update Health Tools”}

2.If the health update tools are not installed, please install it. It is suggested to manually install it on a device and then check if the update report status will change.
