For Windows Autopatch, you need Windows E3 / E5 lincense as well, without it it will not appear in your Intune\Tenant Administration.

Hi,

Autopatch is appearing in my Intune admin Center. i think this is because of the mixed licensing scenario, that's what i understood from this doc I have both business premium and E3.
