Once again, Microsoft is pushing its automatic updates agenda. The company's latest policy update shows how quickly it can shift control away from users, raising questions about flexibility and user choice. While users can still opt out, nothing is stopping it from making updates mandatory, as it did with app store software.
Starting in September, Microsoft will automatically install updates during the Windows 11 setup process. The company says the change ensures new PCs launch with the latest security patches and bug fixes for a smoother initial sign-in. It also reflects Microsoft's push to tighten control over how and when users receive updates.
The policy will apply to eligible Microsoft Entra-joined or hybrid-joined devices running Windows 11 Enterprise, Pro, Education, or SE, version 22H2 and later.
