Microsoft Edge

Windows Autopatch uses the Stable Channel of Microsoft Edge.

Device eligibility

For a device to be eligible for Microsoft Edge updates as a part of Windows Autopatch, they must meet the following criteria:

• The device must be powered on and have an internet connection.
• There are no policy conflicts between Windows Autopatch policies and customer policies.
• The device must be able to access the required network endpoints to reach the Microsoft Edge update service.
• If Microsoft Edge is open, it must restart for the update process to complete.

Update release schedule

Microsoft Edge will check for updates every 10 hours. Quality updates occur weekly by default. Feature updates occur automatically every four weeks and are rolled out progressively by the Microsoft Edge product group to ensure the best experience for customers. All users will see the update within a few days of the initial release.

Browser updates with critical security fixes will have a faster rollout cadence than updates that don't have critical security fixes to ensure prompt protection from vulnerabilities.

Devices in the Test device group receive feature updates from the Beta Channel. This channel is fully supported and automatically updated with new features approximately every four weeks.

Pausing and resuming updates

Currently, Windows Autopatch can't pause or resume Microsoft Edge updates.
