How devices with Insufficient update connectivity show up in the Windows Expedited update report in Intune. Microsoft reduced the size of updates for Windows 11 by 40% through compression technology, “thereby cutting time and bandwidth requirements for updates,' a Microsoft software engineer and program manager wrote in an October 2021 blog post. The problem with long updates, Microsoft claimed, is most prevalent on devices running Windows 10 those systems require substantially larger updates than Windows 11. So these are both taken into account in the criteria.”
Others need to restart from the beginning if the device shuts down. 'Some parts of the update process can restart where they left off, like the downloads. 'The six 'total connected hours' (not eight) I cited in this post are based on studies that include devices that are infrequently used, often only online for a few minutes across multiple hours, have intermittent connectivity, and are often running on battery power,' Guyer wrote. Nearly a week after the blog was first posted, Guyer answered some pointed questions in a comment thread, explaining that the majority of updates - from start to finish - can take less than an hour. “This allows for a successful download and background installations that are able to restart or resume once a device is active and connected,” Guyer wrote.
