Microsoft unveils “centralized” software update tool for Windows

Microsoft is developing a Windows-native update orchestration platform to improve the software updating experience for IT administrators and end-users. This platform aims to streamline the management of updates across various applications and components within the Windows ecosystem, reducing confusion caused by independent updates for different products. Currently in private preview, developers can access the platform through Windows Runtime (WinRT) APIs and PowerShell commands by registering as update providers. The orchestrator will intelligently defer updates based on user activity and system performance, and it will automatically reschedule failed attempts. Additionally, Microsoft is introducing Windows Backup for Organizations to assist with the transition from Windows 10 to Windows 11. This feature simplifies the backup and restoration of settings for Windows 10 and 11 devices. To use this functionality, devices must be Microsoft Entra hybrid joined or Microsoft Entra joined and running a supported version of Windows. The restore feature is compatible only with Microsoft Entra joined devices running Windows 11, version 22H2 and later. The Windows Backup for Organizations feature is currently in a limited public preview for select members of the Microsoft Management Customer Connection Program.

Microsoft wants Windows 11 to handle all updates centrally

Microsoft has initiated a limited public preview of Windows Backup for Organizations to simplify the backup and restoration of device settings for enterprise customers, facilitating the transition from Windows 10 to Windows 11. The company is developing a unified orchestration platform to manage all operating system and software updates, addressing issues related to the current fragmented update process. This platform will be built on the Windows Update stack and provide an API for developers to integrate their applications. Benefits include eco-conscious scheduling, a centralized notification system, holistic update history, streamlined troubleshooting, easier management for IT administrators, and support for common app types. The orchestrator is currently in early development and available only as a private preview, with a focus on enterprises, although a consumer-oriented solution may be possible in the future.
