This is just phase 1. We'll be making improvements to the report, default configs (such as the recent hotpatch default), short deadline experience to help enable you to meet these new targets. We are also focused on ensuring quality of Windows patches blogs.windows.com/windows-in…

Check out the new run dialog! It is somehow even more amazing than the use of emojis in the blog announcing it - which is impressive. 💙🦄
Great job @ClintRutkas and team! 🪇

Excited to chat with y'all in New York next week! There are few things more valuable when building a product than hearing feedback directly from customers.
p.s. if you're an IT admin and want to talk to me / other product folks even more often check out: techcommunity.microsoft.com/…
Take a look at the highlights from our Insider meetup in Seattle last month! Look forward to meeting more of you next week in New York City. Register your interest to attend this, as well as other locations! aka.ms/InsiderMeetupSeries

🚀 *new feature alert*
New #Windows11 devices now give you the option to immediately skip updates during device setup - giving you the option of landing on the desktop faster or getting updates right away to land fully setup and ready to go.

If you choose to skip updates, the latest features and security fixes won’t be applied until you choose to take the updates after hitting the desktop. With immediate choice built into setup updates, you decide when updates happen.

P.s. if you don't already follow the Oot, you need to! @alecoot not only helps lead the insider program, but has some awesome insights on using agents, baking sourdough with Egyptian yeast, building advanced community book swap boxes, and more!
I'm excited to share some of the improvements that are coming to the Windows Insider Program!

I'm so excited about the renewed focus on quality and lived user experience - both as an engineer helping to build it and as a #Windows user. I'm especially excited to be bringing more control over #updates fewer reboots! As we keep focusing in here: #BringOnTheFeedback! 🥳
Mar 20
The team and I have spent the past several months analyzing feedback from the community. What came through was the voice of people who care deeply about Windows and want it to be better. Read this blog post to learn more about what we're doing in response as we look to raise the bar on Windows 11 quality. Please keep the feedback coming, to help us shape the future of Windows together. blogs.windows.com/windows-in…

Say hello to fewer reboots and getting secure faster!
#Autopatch will now be enabling #Hotpatch by default - applying the security fixes without a reboot when available for applicable devices!! 🎉

You've asked for YEARS for better update reporting. Today is a step in that direction:
- Windows Autopatch management status report
- Quality update journey
- Update alerts and remediations
- Update Readiness Checker
