Planned maintenance: Windows Autopatch service

🚨 The Signal: Windows Autopatch will undergo planned maintenance between June and September 2026, causing temporary read-only access to Autopatch settings for up to two hours. This is for service security and reliability improvements.

The Impact

Intune admins will experience a temporary inability to modify Autopatch settings, posing a low security risk as device policies remain active.

• Intune Admins: Cannot change Autopatch policies during a 2-hour window.
• Security Teams: No immediate security risk as existing policies continue enforcement.
• Devices: Continue operating normally with existing security policies.

The Action

1. Monitor Microsoft 365 Message Center for specific maintenance window notifications for your tenant.
2. Plan any critical Windows Autopatch policy changes outside the communicated maintenance period.
3. Inform relevant IT and security stakeholders about the upcoming read-only period.
