Microsoft Intune Introduces Feature Update Journey Report for End-to-End Windows Update Visibility

Microsoft is improving how administrators can track Windows updates. A new report in the Microsoft Intune admin center gives a clear view of how feature updates are progressing. Instead of only showing the final result, like installed or failed, the Feature Update Journey report shows each step a device goes through during the update process, helping IT admins understand what is happening at every stage.

If you use Microsoft Intune to manage Windows updates, you can find this report in Reports > Windows Feature Updates > Feature update journey. It helps you easily track update progress and fix issues.

Visual Deployment Journey Insights

One of the most valuable features is the visual deployment journey, which shows how devices move through each stage of the update process. It helps administrators easily identify where devices are getting stuck, whether issues are happening during download, installation, or reboot, and if updates are being cancelled by users or interrupted by policies.
