Intune update ring does not deploy feature update

Pekka Pekkonen 586

Hello

I have a update ring through Intune. The problem is with feature updates. There are several 1909 computers.

I have the following setting in Intune.

What could cause feature version not update?

Regards,
Pekka Pek

Hello after a while

It turned out that we can get around the issue. My collegue found out that there is a command line command or Powershell command with Windows update assistant.

That command appeared to work even if Intune was unable to feature update. That way we should be able to update several computers without end user contacting.

Regards,
Pekka

Without knowing details here, it's difficult to say anything definitive, but the above statement honestly makes no sense. Intune does not deploy feature updates. It merely configured WUfB policies that control how and when the Windows Update client on the system downloads and installs updates. There is no other way to install updates except to use the Windows Update client. Perhaps what you ran corrected an issue with the WU client -- as noted, without knowing exactly what was done though, not much else can be said.

Thank you for the information about technical background.

Myself I haven't had the possibility to confirm this behavior but I'm sure we can trust this observation of experienced colleague of mine.

Based on that, I also think that Windows update assistant runs some fixes in the background that solves the update issue.

As noted, the domain join state is irrelevant here.

Have you deployed update compliance to validate that there isn't a safeguard hold on the systems in question?

Ah, I missed that note. Good to know.

Also now I found how to deploy update compliance. I will come back to that after I have got approval to create Log Analytics Workspace.

I got aproval to create update compliance. Unfortunately it seemed to fail, no content seem to be uploaded.

The error I got might be the reason.

I set up according to this blog post.
I will come back to the original issue if I get this solved.
