Any plans for Intune to show not just device Primary user but currently/last logged on user like CM does please?

That's a wrap for Office Hours this month. We'll be back next time and every third Thursday. Visit https://aka.ms/Windows/OfficeHours for upcoming dates!
Is there any plans on re-implementing the "old" W10 control panel or atleast some of it's functions back to control panel instead of the settings app? I find that you have to take a detour and hard-to-find way to get to the "Devices and Printers" page in control panel for instance pretty annoying.
Not strictly Windows, but is there an Intune configuration setting that turns this on? Currently I have to enable it via a powershell script because I can't find anything in Intune.
One thing to also share. I came across this if you hadn't already. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/waas-wufb-csp-mdm#user-settings-for-notifications
I have spent today looking into this as we have had reports of users not getting notified of a pending update to then have auto restart deadline kick in days later with no notice. For the longest our Quality Update policy for WUfB is set as "Change notification update level = Turn off all notifications, excluding restart warnings". However our users are not being notified of a restart pending.
Im now looking if that setting under advanced should be turned ON in order for this to all work consistently.
Yeah, we battled this as well and found that what worked best for us was this:
1. leave the windows default notifications, including letting Windows determine active hours.2. Set a reasonably short grace period (we set 40 hours). During that period, users will see the update icon with a little bang on it on the taskbar.
3. after the grace period expires, users get notified that a mandatory update must be done. This allows them to wrap up their work.
It seems the best combo between being least intrusive and reasonably quick deployment.
Is there a limit to the size of application that we can package in Intune? For example, we have a spec software that we use. Each month we receive about 70GB of pricing update. Is there a staging function in the background where it will kick it off on user's computer and then just run to completion when everything is downloaded to the machine?

There isn't a staging option, but you could leverage deliver optimization of Microsoft Connected Cache. PM me directly if you want to discuss more
Do you have any documentation or Learn/info link on Microsoft Connected Cache? Thanks
Is Windows 11 24H2 still being throttled through Windows Update, or is it now generally available to anyone running the latest cumulative updates on Windows 11 23H2?
Interesting that you mention that. We have some Surface Pro X SQ2 (Snapdragon) that only received 24H2 two weeks ago, where SQ3 (Snapdragon) and Intels got 24H2 months ago. Is this specific to certain devices? Or across many different ones?
- Joe_Lurie
Michael_Cherry Windows 11 24H2 is generally available to all. If you aren't receiving it, make sure you don't have any Safeguard Holds against your device: Safeguard holds for Windows | Microsoft Learn
Not sure if the Windows team has any visibility into this, but do you all know if Intune (or Defender or Entra) be able to send administrators email alerts for Endpoint Privilege Management elevation requests anytime soon? We want to use this feature, but without email alerts, it's much less helpful.

Hi, is the a way to have the roadmap or follow-up on when the next improvements for Autopatch Drivers and firmware roadmap will be?
For example, aligning with cumulative update deadline for less reboots or improve visibility for which drivers applies to which devices to avoid multiple groups and the ability to have a report of installation status for multiple driver policy to reduce back and forth.
Thks in advance.
I want to upvote that.
- EricMoe
The team is continuing to work on improvements to drivers and firmware. I'll prompt the team on when we will be able to publish a new roadmap.
We occasionally need to perform a Windows reinstall on machines where updates are failing to install due to servicing errors that aren't resolved by running sfc /scannow or dism. This can be done through the Settings app under System > Recovery > Fix problems using Windows Update, but is there any way to initiate this programmatically, e.g. with an Intune remediation script?
- EricMoe
You may want to open a support case on this. I have seen devices get into a state that you describe, and an alternate fix is to perform an in-place upgrade to the same version of Windows. I've seen customers build a task sequence that essentially reruns setup for the same version of Windows 11 and after it's complete, it has fixed the update stack. You could be experiencing another issue and support may be able to take a look as to what is happening and propose solutions other than reinstalling from scratch.
Thanks EricMoe. While we do currently have SCCM in our environment, we are working to decommission it as we adopt Microsoft's vision for Modern Management, so I am looking for a solution that would work within that framework. As I understand it, the "Fix problems using Windows Update" feature is essentially performing an in-place upgrade to the same version of Windows. I guess I'm just asking how to initiate that remotely through Intune.
If I may be candid: we would never open a support case for this type of issue. The probability of being assigned a competent support representative is low, and the amount of IT effort and disruption to the end user with repeatedly gathering screenshots and diagnostic logs is high. We are farther ahead just setting up a new workstation for the end user and wiping the old one.
