Blocking Updates using Intune Update Ring

Question

Guys, pls, what happens if I create an Update Ring with this settings and apply to a Group?

This will block Windows update in all computers on that group?

Hi @Patrick Mor

No this will not block Windows from updating its OS. This is for blocking Windows from checking for app updates/drivers.

App Updates is defined as:

Microsoft product updates: These update other Microsoft products, such as Office. You can enable or disable Microsoft updates by using policies controlled by various servicing tools.

Driver Updates is defined as:

Driver updates: These update drivers applicable to your devices. Driver updates are turned off by default in Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), but for cloud-based update methods, you can control whether they are installed or not.
