MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
Exhibit
{
"exhibit": "From Microsoft Intune admin center > Devices > Windows > Update rings. Settings: \"Servicing channel\": \"Windows Insider - Dev\", \"Quality update deferral period (days)\": 0, \"Feature update deferral period (days)\": 0, \"Feature update uninstall period (days)\": 10, \"Automatic update behavior\": \"Auto install and restart at maintenance time\"}"Refer to the exhibit. A Windows 11 device assigned to this update ring is running a released version. What is the immediate behavior after the policy applies?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse the 'Deferral' settings with Insider build behavior, assuming deferral periods apply to Insider builds, when in fact enabling the Insider Program overrides deferrals for feature updates and directly offers the specified channel's build.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The device will be offered the latest Windows Insider Dev Channel build.
The exhibit shows an update ring policy configured with the 'Windows Insider Program' enabled and the 'Insider Channel' set to 'Dev Channel'. Since the device is currently on a released version, applying this policy will enroll it in the Windows Insider Program and offer the latest Dev Channel build. This is the immediate behavior because the policy triggers a check for the specified Insider build, not a deferral or quality update.
