Control for Managed PCs: Users with PCs managed through Microsoft Intune and Windows Autopilot will have “seamless control over quality update behavior.”
Eligibility Requirements (for controlling updates during OOBE - Out of Box Experience):
Windows Version: Windows 11, version 22H2 or later.
SKU: Pro, Enterprise, Education, or SE.
