Windows 10 21H2 is released, here are the new features. Thats all we want. I am now install Fedora. Except people are finding it reinstalls on the next 'Check for updates'.
Ive never found pre-installed apps to be installed again after a new update, even after a complete reinstall or factory reset. Edit: They do reinstall after I factory reset, but not when I update. From what I understand this is unexpected behavior. It is supposed to remain uninstalled, but is not. They don't exist at all.. Of course there is. I don't want it on any of my PCs. I have no intentions of ever upgrading to Windows It's just more bug riddled telemetry bloatware crap that we don't need.
There's 3! The only good reason there needs to be is that users just don't want it and haven't consented to it being downloaded on their systems. These sorts of things should always be opt-in, not opt-out. To streamline update management and eliminate the need for on-premises infrastructure to deploy updates, Microsoft Digital recently implemented Windows Update for Business WUfB , a publicly available, cloud-based Windows update service that simplifies update management for Windows 10 devices.
Windows was traditionally serviced with major version releases every few years, service packs, and monthly updates. We had to approach almost every major update release as a complicated, long-term project. It was time consuming, costly, and often disruptive for the business.
For Windows 10, an operational approach to deploying major updates was needed—an approach that allowed processes to be continually refined with each release, reducing cost and complexity over time.
WUfB helps us keep Windows 10 devices at Microsoft up to date by connecting them directly to the Windows Update service. We can also restart enforcement using group policy for domain-joined devices, and Microsoft Intune policies for cloud domain-joined or Azure AD-joined devices.
It also provides centralized management and can be configured without requiring any on-premises infrastructure. In our environment, we use co-management strategies while moving all devices toward modern management with Intune and Azure AD-joined. Most employee and vendor devices are still AD-joined and managed with Configuration Manager.
As illustrated in Figure 1, WUfB has made it possible to shift our update-management workload to the cloud and introduce consistency in how we deploy updates to both domain-joined and managed devices. Figure 1. WUfB manages updates for both traditionally and modernly managed Windows 10 devices at Microsoft. We began moving all of our Windows 10 update servicing into WUfB after the release of Windows 10 version , also known as the Windows 10 April Update.
It offered new features that improved control and visibility of WUfB, and it helped us better manage, secure, and target deployments. Specifically, this version provided the following benefits:.
The new WUfB features and configuration options include:. For our Active Directory domain-joined devices, we created group policies that directed Windows 10 devices to get their updates from WUfB. These group policies configure devices to install updates and restart devices within the timelines we configured for security and compliance.
After these group policies were applied to employee and vendor devices, we removed them from our Configuration Manager patch collection for quality updates. To view our update policy configurations, including the new settings in Windows 10 , see Appendix A: Windows Update for Business and restart group policies.
For Intune-managed devices , we configured their settings using configuration service providers CSP s to provide an equivalent experience to the devices managed via group policy. To align with our continuous-update delivery model, Windows 10 now has two servicing channels. Each servicing channel provides different levels of flexibility over when feature updates are delivered to client computers after they are released:. Illustrating the flexibility this gives us, devices with a branch readiness level set to SAC will migrate to Windows 10 version later than devices with a branch readiness level set to SAC-T.
The introduction of servicing channels brings with it the concept of deployment rings , which is a way to categorize the combination of a deployment group and a servicing channel to group devices for successive deployment waves. For more information about developing a deployment strategy using servicing channels and deployment rings , see Plan servicing strategy for Windows 10 updates.
We configured feature updates in five waves for domain-joined devices to optimize bandwidth utilization, avoid overloading support resources, and mitigate risks. All Intune users are configured to have feature updates deployed in a single wave. This group of early adopters provides valuable feedback to the product group that helps prepare feature updates for their release. Previously referred to as upgrades , feature updates are released every six months. They include security and quality revisions, as well as significant feature additions and changes.
Most of our Windows devices are configured to update twice a year on our Semi-Annual Channel. For most enterprise customers, we recommend using Insider Release Preview for early adoption and targeted validation for a subset of devices, and then using SAC for broad update deployment.
Note: While enterprise customers can defer or skip an update, Microsoft recommends you deploy all feature updates. These are not updates to LPs and FODs, but reacquisition to ensure the user has these elements present with the update completes. For some environments, enabling acquired Dynamic Update content and installing that content on the device is not an option. For example, the device may not have internet connectivity. If one is performing a media-based feature update, most Dynamic Update content can be acquired and applied to the image before initiating setup on the device.
Let's briefly walk through the high-level steps. Then, we'll look at how to perform these steps using a PowerShell script. Visit the Microsoft Update Catalog and acquire the Dynamic Update cumulative content packages used to apply to the image. At the main search bar, searching for "" Dynamic Update" will show a listing as follows:.
However, what about the other packages? To understand how to map these search results requires closer inspection of each Title , Product and Description.
The below table shows you how to differentiate each type of Dynamic Update package:. For example, since Dynamic Update will be disabled for your devices, and should users require specific FODs, these can be preinstalled into the image.
Now we can work on how the packages and acquired supplemental media can be used to patch Windows 10 OS media. The table below shows the steps as rows that are executed against a target as columns. Many of these tasks are repeated for target. For example, tasks that are repeated for each of the multiple Windows image files, such as applying SSU Dynamic Update, cleaning the image, and exporting the image. The targets of these actions are as follows:. The main OS install.
Or, if needed, loop through all editions and patch. Further, ensure that languages are installed before Features on Demand, and that the LCU is always applied last.
Although not required from a patching perspective, this is an opportunity to customize the image with languages, Optional Components, and Features On Demand.
We highlight this to ensure the correct sequencing is used. In the script below, we will be installing a single language, in this case Japanese ja-JP. Since this is a lp. This includes adding localized versions of the packages currently installed in the recovery image. Optional Components, along with the. NET FOD can be installed offline; however, these installs generate pending operations that require a machine reboot.
As a result, the call to perform image cleanup would fail. For this reason, you have a couple of options. You can skip the image cleanup step, but that will result in a larger install.
Or you can perform the installation of. NET and Optional Components after cleanup and before export.
