Intune flaw pushed Windows 11 upgrades on blocked devices

Microsoft identified a "code issue" within its Intune device management software as the reason for the unintended rollout of Windows 11 to devices not designated for the upgrade. The flaw triggered upgrades despite existing policies meant to prevent them. Microsoft is working on a fix and has advised organizations to pause Windows updates via Intune to avoid further issues. Devices that received the upgrade erroneously will need manual intervention to revert to their previous version. This incident follows a similar occurrence in November 2024, where customers experienced unexpected upgrades from Windows Server 2022 to Windows Server 2025. Microsoft attributed that incident to third-party products used for managing server updates. Additionally, a month prior, Microsoft retracted a preview update for Windows 11 due to severe issues causing crashes.

More headaches for IT admins as Windows 11 rolls out to ineligible PCs

Microsoft has encountered issues in its enterprise sector, particularly involving the unintended release of Windows 11 to devices that do not meet eligibility criteria due to a bug in Intune. This problem has persisted since April 12 and is caused by a "latent code issue" that prevents Intune from enforcing rollout block policies. The bug allows Windows 11 to be available to "ineligible" Windows 10 desktop devices that IT administrators had blocked from receiving the update. Microsoft is working on a targeted code fix and has advised IT administrators to pause Windows feature updates and manually revert affected devices to Windows 10. The number of companies impacted is unclear, and there are no automated solutions available for the rollback process.

Windows 11 upgrades sneak past admin blockades

Microsoft has acknowledged that some users are receiving unsolicited invitations to upgrade to Windows 11, despite configurations in Intune meant to prevent this. The issue is attributed to a "recent service change" that has exposed a latent code problem affecting a subset of users. Affected users are prompted to upgrade regardless of IT restrictions, and those who have upgraded can manually roll back to the previous version. Microsoft has advised administrators to pause Windows Feature Updates temporarily and has announced that a targeted code fix is being deployed to resolve the issue. This incident is reminiscent of a previous Windows Server 2025 error in November 2024, which involved a mistaken release as a security update.

Microsoft: Some devices offered Windows 11 upgrades despite Intune blocks

Microsoft is addressing an issue where some Windows devices are prompted to upgrade to Windows 11 despite Intune policies preventing such upgrades, a problem attributed to a "latent code issue" since April 12. A targeted code fix is being deployed, and users are advised to pause Windows feature updates via Intune until the resolution is fully rolled out. Users who upgraded to Windows 11 inadvertently will need to manually revert to their previous version. Additionally, in November 2024, certain Windows Server 2019 and 2022 devices were upgraded to Windows Server 2025 without user consent, and Microsoft acknowledged the problem but did not provide guidance on reverting these upgrades. Microsoft has also resolved an issue with prompts for upgrading to Windows Server 2025, clarifying that notifications were intended only for those seeking in-place upgrades.
