MD-102 Protect devices Practice Question
Which THREE features are available in Microsoft Intune for managing Windows 10/11 device updates?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse Windows Update for Business (a policy framework) with a specific Intune feature, or mistakenly think WSUS is a cloud-based update management option within Intune, when in fact Intune relies solely on Windows Update for Business policies delivered via update rings and feature update policies.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Update rings for Windows 10 and later
Update rings for Windows 10 and later (option B) are a core Intune feature that allows administrators to configure Windows Update for Business settings, such as deferral periods, pause windows, and update deadlines, and then assign these policies to groups of devices. This enables controlled rollout and compliance management of quality and feature updates directly from the cloud without requiring on-premises infrastructure.
