Coming soon: Quality updates during the out-of-box experience

Soon, you’ll get an improved out-of-box experience (OOBE) of new Windows 11 devices. By mid-2025, a new policy will allow you to choose whether new Windows 11 devices on version 22H2 and higher get the latest applicable quality update during the OOBE. You’ll be able to configure the setting via Windows Autopilot and Windows Autopilot device preparation as a mobile device management (MDM) policy and a Group Policy.  

 

When will this happen: 

This new policy will be available mid-2025. 

 

How this will affect your organization: 

This change will help ensure devices in your organization are secure out of the box by getting the quality update at the end of their out-of-box experience. 

 

What you need to do to prepare: 

No action is needed at this time. Read Additional information for more details.
