The Quality update status report provides the current update status of all devices at the device level.
Device trends The Quality update trending report provides the update status trend of all devices over the last 90 days.
Reliability report The Reliability report provides a reliability score for each Windows quality update cycle based on stop error codes detected on managed devices.

Windows feature update reports

The Windows feature update reports monitor the health and activity of your deployments and help you understand if your devices are maintaining update compliance targets.

If update deployments aren't successful, Windows Autopatch provides information on update deployment failures and who needs to remediate. Certain update deployment failures might require either Windows Autopatch to act on your behalf or you to fix the issue.

About data latency

The data source for these reports is Windows diagnostic data. The data typically uploads from enrolled devices once per day. Then, the data is processed in batches before being made available in Windows Autopatch. The maximum end-to-end latency is approximately 48 hours.

Windows quality and feature update statuses

The following statuses are used throughout the Windows Autopatch reporting suite to describe the quality update status for devices:

Each status has its own set of sub statuses to further describe the status.

Up to Date devices

Up to date devices are devices that meet all of the following prerequisites:

Note

Device that are Up to Date will remain with the In Progress status until either the current monthly cumulative update is applied, or an alert is received. If the device receives an alert, the device's status will change to Not up to Date.

Up to Date sub statuses

Sub status Description
In Progress Devices are currently installing the latest quality update or feature update deployed through the Windows Autopatch release schedule.
Paused Devices that are currently paused due to a Windows Autopatch or customer-initiated Release management pause. For more information, see pausing and resuming a Windows quality update or Windows feature update.

Not up to Date devices

Not Up to Date means a device isn't up to date when the:

  • Quality or feature update is out of date, or the device is on the previous update.
  • The assigned update schedule has elapsed and the device still has not applied the current release.
  • Device has an alert resulting in an error and action must be taken.

Not Ready devices

Not Ready refers to the responsibility of the designated IT administrator to carry out the appropriate action to resolve the reported device sub status.
