"From next month, Windows administrators will be able to inflict Microsoft's quality updates on users via the Out of Box Experience (OOBE) by default. Users without managed devices have long faced an interminable wait during the first setup of Windows while updates are downloaded and installed. Microsoft's "much awaited improvement" means that the ability to get the latest Windows quality updates during OOBE is coming to eligible Microsoft Entra-joined or Entra hybrid-joined devices running Windows 11 22H2 or later."
"Administrators need to exercise some caution. The new setting in the Windows Autopilot Enrollment Status Page (ESP) to install quality updates is enabled by default for new ESP profiles, if available, and it's not possible to turn off Windows updates during OOBE if you're not using device ESP. It was already possible for administrators to get updates installed during OOBE before the first user sign-in, but this required familiarity with PowerShell."
Next month Windows devices that are Microsoft Entra-joined or Entra hybrid-joined and running Windows 11 22H2 or later can install quality updates during the Out of Box Experience so devices will be up to date at first sign-in. The update check and installation occur on the last OOBE page and respect configured pause and deferral policies. Control of the behavior is delivered via an administrator policy and a Windows Autopilot Enrollment Status Page (ESP) setting. The ESP setting to install quality updates is enabled by default for new profiles and PowerShell previously enabled similar behavior.
