Let’s check how to deploy the June 2023 Patch Tuesday (LCU) Deployment using Intune. You can deploy Windows 11 June CU using Microsoft Intune. The patch deployment process in Microsoft Intune is different from that of SCCM.

You have the option to expedite the Installation of June 2023 quality updates. Create expedited update profiles for Quality updates using the following steps.
The following are the Settings for Intune quality update profile for the monthly patching process if you want to expedite the deployment of patches. Otherwise, you can use the standard quality updates policy from Intune.
- Name – Windows 11 June 2023 LCU.
- Description – Recommend adding a detailed description.
- Expedite installation of quality updates if the device OS version is less than 13th June 2023 – 2023.06 B Security Updates for Windows 10 and later

I was hoping they would have fixed the unusable L2TP/IPsec VPN issue from KB5025305 which renders using RDP connections via this vpn unusable via wifi connections in Windows 11. Another reason to tell users not to upgrade to this O.S
Also Saving or copying files might intermittently fail issue is a pretty serious issue that is corrupting PDF files in the business sector and the current workaround seems to be holding up ok at the moment.
