intune hotpatch

The intune hotpatch tag covers Microsoft's restart-reduction feature for Windows 11 devices managed through Intune or Windows Autopatch. Content explains that hotpatch is not a no-reboot solution but a quarterly baseline cycle requiring restarts in January, April, July, and October, with hotpatch updates in intervening months. Eligibility depends on meeting prerequisites and being managed via Intune quality update policies. Rollout guidance includes building pilots from eligible devices and measuring targeted, eligible, hotpatched, and standard LCU fallback outcomes. The tag focuses on practical deployment steps and baseline constraints for IT administrators.
