Historically we have used Feature Updates in SCCM. However the Windows 11, version 23H2 x64 2024-##(A/B) updates keep expiring when new ones come out every moth and we have to re-deploy. Any suggestions on how we can avoid re-deploying every month?

    Hi, @LostITSoul

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

    The Windows 11, version 23H2 x64 2024-04B means the feature update win11 23h2 with the 2024-04cumulative update, this is the UUP-style update, for your reference:

    https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-it-pro-blog/what-s-uup-new-update-style-coming-next-week/ba-p/3773065

    So, the updates keep expiring when new ones come out every month, but you do not need to re-deploy it every month, you just need to deploy the cumulative update monthly.

    Deploying these to systems on Windows 10 upgrades them to 11, but they don't show up at all on systems already on Win11.

    This is by design to keep the software compatible between version changes.
