Release notes for hotpatch public preview on Windows 11, version 24H2 Enterprise clients

Hotpatch public preview updates for Windows 11, version 24H2 Enterprise clients overview

Windows 11, version 24H2 Enterprise clients with hotpatch gives you the ability to apply security updates without restarting a device. This keeps virtual machines up to date and secure. By reducing the number of Patch Tuesday restarts, these devices are also more available. You can manage and apply updates using Autopatch with Windows 11, version 24H2 Enterprise clients. Some of the benefits include:

Higher availability and fewer restarts
Faster deployment of updates because the packages are smaller, install faster, and have easier patch orchestration using Azure Update Management
Better protection because the hotpatch packages are scoped to Windows security updates and you do not have to restart
