Let’s check the Windows Update Compatibility Intune Report For App and Driver from Intune, Endpoint Manager portal. The reports will help us to ensure that applications and drivers remain compatible while upgrading the existing windows 10 version to a newer version.
While Windows has extended application compatibility promise to Windows 11, some organizations want proactive data around compatibility risks to be confident that your organization’s specific apps and drivers will not be an issue.
To help prepare for update deployments, Intune offers integrated reports to help you understand compatibility risks that might impact your devices during or after an update.
The two new reports are available in public preview for windows updates –
- Windows feature update device readiness report – Select a target version of Windows that you plan to deploy and provide a device-by-device view of any compatibility risks encountered during or after the feature update or upgrade.
- Windows feature update compatibility risks report – Find a summary of the top compatibility risks across your organization to prioritize which risks to address first.
We have a list of Intune Default Reports that provides more details about Intune default reports in a series of posts. You can refer to Intune default posts.
