Introduction
Hello!
It’s been a very busy two weeks for me, both professionally and personally. Microsoft has also kept the pace high, introducing several improvements across Windows and Intune. With Windows 11 version 25H2 now released, many organizations are beginning their rollout and adjusting update policies. Between smaller hotpatches, expedited updates, and improved Intune RBAC and reporting, there’s plenty to explore this time.
Have a great week and see you soon again!
