The Microsoft Edge product group progressively rolls out feature updates automatically every four weeks to ensure the best experience for customers. The update is available within a few days of the initial release.

Browser updates with critical security fixes have a faster rollout cadence than updates that don't have critical security fixes to ensure fast 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.

Pause and resume updates

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