In some cases we want more control over driver updates when using Windows Update for Business – to do this we need to disable driver update as part of the WUfB. Non-deferrable updates: Currently, antimalware and antispyware Definition Updates from Windows Update cannot be deferred. These non-Windows Updates are known as Microsoft Updates and devices can be optionally configured to receive such updates along with their Windows Updates. Windows Update for Business also treats non-Windows updates (such as those for Microsoft Office or Visual Studio) as Quality Updates. These include security, critical, and driver updates. Quality Updates: these are traditional operating system updates, typically released the second Tuesday of each month (though they can be released at any time). When we are using modern management on our devices that are running Windows 10 – then we are updating them with WUfB (Windows Update for Business), and that is a good thing, we can manage it so we have control over when a Windows 10 device is getting quality updates and feature update by creating internal update rings.įeature Updates: previously referred to as upgrades, Feature Updates contain not only security and quality revisions, but also significant feature additions and changes they are released semi-annually.
