About this tag
Per-update approval is a feature in Microsoft Intune that allows IT administrators to approve and deploy individual Windows quality updates, including non-security preview and out-of-band updates, rather than relying on automatic update rings. This granular control is part of Windows Quality Update management policies, with a preview expected in January 2026 and general availability in February 2026. The approach gives enterprise IT teams more flexibility to test and roll out specific updates on corporate PCs, reducing the risk of deploying problematic patches broadly. This tag covers discussions about the roadmap, configuration, and implications of per-update approval for Windows update management in enterprise environments.
