Microsoft: Work PCs Are Getting Windows 11 Upgrades Even When Blocked by Company Settings
Microsoft has stated that some users are still being offered upgrades to Windows 11, even when Intune settings are in place to prevent these updates. Not all organizations or users are affected, but those impacted have reported that even devices 100% excluded by the policy were offered the upgrade. Reports from organizations say thousands of devices are affected, with users receiving the upgrade prompt despite being excluded from the policy. Microsoft says that users who have already upgraded to Windows 11 due to this issue must be manually rolled back to their previous Windows version. As a temporary measure, Microsoft recommends that administrators in affected organizations pause Windows Feature Updates until a fix is fully deployed. As of Wednesday, Microsoft said it had finished testing and validation for a targeted code fix and is now rolling it out to stop further impact and resolve the code issue, as reported by The Register. This latest issue has let Windows 11 upgrades bypass Intune policies and reach devices that should have been protected. Unlike the Windows Server 2025 event, this upgrade went through Microsoft's own management platform. The root cause, described as a latent code issue, raises questions about what other similar problems might exist in Microsoft's systems, possibly leading to more unwanted updates or outages in the future. Microsoft is urging affected organizations to pause updates and prepare for manual rollbacks where necessary as it works to resolve the issue fully.
