Create an Expedite Windows Quality Update Policy

To fast-track this fix, admins can create an Expedited Quality Update policy in Microsoft Intune, ensuring affected devices receive the update as a priority outside the normal patching cadence. By assigning the policy to the relevant device groups, organizations can minimize downtime, reduce risk, and quickly restore device stability while maintaining compliance across managed endpoints. Here are the steps to create an Expedite Windows Quality Update policy in Intune. Let’s walk through the process step by step.
