Windows quality and feature update reports overview
Important
The information in this article or section only applies if you have Windows Enterprise E3+ or F3 licenses (included in Microsoft 365 F3, E3, or E5) licenses and have activated Windows Autopatch features.
Feature activation is optional and at no additional cost to you if you have Windows 10/11 Enterprise E3 or E5 (included in Microsoft 365 F3, E3, or E5) licenses.
For more information, see Licenses and entitlements. If you choose not to go through feature activation, you can still use the Windows Autopatch service for the features included in Business premium and A3+ licenses.
Windows quality update reports
The Windows quality reports provide you with information about:
- Quality update device readiness
- Device update health
- Device update alerts
Together, these reports provide insight into the quality update state and compliance of Windows devices that are enrolled into Windows Autopatch.
The Windows quality report types are organized into the following focus areas:
| Focus area | Description |
|---|---|
| Organizational | The Summary dashboard provide the current update status summary for all devices. 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.
The Windows feature update report types are organized into the following focus areas:
| Focus area | Description |
|---|---|
| Organizational | The Summary dashboard provides a broader view of the current Windows OS upgrade status for all devices registered with Windows Autopatch. |
| Operational | The Feature update status report provides a per device view of the current Windows OS update status for all devices registered with Windows Autopatch. |
| Device trends | The Quality update trending report provides a visual representation of Windows OS upgrade trends for all devices over the last 90 days. |

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:
- Prerequisites
- Prerequisites for device registration
- Windows quality and feature update device readiness
- Post-device readiness checks
- Applied the current monthly cumulative updates
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 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 elapsed and the device still didn't apply 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.
Within each 24-hour reporting period, devices that are Not Ready are reevaluated using the Autopatch post-device registration readiness checks.
