Hi,

Im interested to know where people are managing their updates for Office 365 as there seems to be a few places to do so. Currently I have Office install via a win32 app and the update channel is set to 'Current Channel' in the xml created via the Office config tool and all my endpoints Office applications seem to update fine.

I see you can get Autopatch to manage this as well. Interested to know if people use Autopatch for Office and how they find it if they do. I also saw the cloud update option in the Office 365 admin portal. It seems like there are many places to do it so I'm wondering if there is one that does something better?

Do they all handle changing the channel method without a re-install as well?

Appreciate any advice

Good afternoon admins

I just noticed my pilot group of devices that were patched today were showing a different OS version 10.0.26200.8390 compared to the latest Microsoft update for May 10.0.26200.8457

I wasnt sure what was going but then i noticed my pilot group of devices have all installed the Hot patch version of the update. I dont use autopatch which i thought had to be used for hot patch installs (im clearly wrong). We are E3 licensed with enterprise windows 11 as well, I still use the intune update rings, i noticed there was a setting in the tenant admin that now installs hot patch by default and its turned on.

Just curious if everyone else is using hot patch on this default or have turned it off and configured elsewhere? i assume the hot patch version includes everything the same as the non hot patch version of the quality update?

Appreciate any advice
