Start using Windows Autopatch

Before you begin the process of deploying updates with Windows Autopatch, ensure you meet the prerequisites.

Once you're ready to deploy updates to your devices, you can either use Microsoft Intune or Microsoft Graph to manage updates with Windows Autopatch.

Use Microsoft Intune for Windows Autopatch

1. Go to the Microsoft Intune admin center.
2. In the left pane, select Devices and then navigate to Manage updates > Windows updates.

To start using the service, you must create an update policy owned by Windows Autopatch. The update policy can be one of the following:

• Update rings
• Windows quality updates
• Windows feature updates
• Driver and firmware updates

Once a device or Microsoft Entra device group is associated with a Windows Autopatch policy, your tenant is now using the Autopatch service to manage updates. Devices are registered with the service following the process as described in Register your devices.
