Microsoft has announced the 'Autopatch' feature for Windows 10 and 11-enabled devices. Autopatch will allow windows users to automatically download and install updates for both the Windows operating systems and the Windows suite of professional tools. This means drivers, feature updates, stability updates, and application updates will be handled automatically. With this tool, IT administrations in a workspace will be able to save time managing a suite of work computers. This time can then be diverted to more meaningful, value-adding tasks.
Previously, Windows recommended that IT administrators update computers on a monthly basis on "update Tuesdays." For these IT teams and for offices that are less technologically savvy, the Autopatch feature will drive productivity, efficiency, reliability, and usability in a positive direction.
