Windows 10 feature update deployment

Microsoft adopted a servicing model with Windows 10 by releasing major OS upgrades, under the label "feature update", twice per year. However, deploying them gets tricky. Since the update size is considerably large, it often lead to huge bandwidth consumption and prolonged installation. It gets much worse if the number of computers to be managed are in thousands, which makes patch management tool the need of the hour.

An effective patch management tool should meet a few key requirements:

  • Able to deploy updates from a centralized interface
  • Schedule updates to a convenient time
  • Test the stability of updates prior to deployment
  • Automate repetitive tasks
