quality update policies

The quality update policies tag covers guidance for Windows Autopatch tenants managing hotpatch behavior on eligible devices. Tagged content focuses on when the tenant default should be set to Allow for ordinary endpoints, when exceptional device populations need an explicit Windows quality update policy, and when Block should be used temporarily because ownership or prerequisites remain unresolved. It also highlights the need to document update ownership, tolerance for baseline reboots, fallback-reboot handling, and evidence for removing a temporary block. Devices assigned to a specific policy follow that policy’s hotpatch setting rather than the tenant default.
