Prepare infrastructure for devices →mediumMultiple ChoiceObjective-mapped

Quick Answer

The answer is that automatic updates will be disabled. This occurs because the ARM template sets the UpdateNotificationLevel policy to a value of 1, which corresponds to "Disable all notifications" under the Update policy CSP. While this setting primarily suppresses update-related notifications, it also effectively disables automatic update checks and background downloads, preventing Windows 10 devices from automatically installing updates without explicit user interaction. On the MD-102 exam, this scenario tests your understanding of how different CSP policies can achieve the same outcome—a common trap is assuming only AllowAutoUpdate set to 0 disables updates, but UpdateNotificationLevel of 1 accomplishes the same result by cutting off the update process entirely. Remember the memory tip: "Level 1 locks updates—no notifications, no downloads."

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

✓

Automatic updates will be disabled.

The ARM template snippet configures the 'UpdateNotificationLevel' setting to '1' (Disable all notifications), which is part of the 'Update' policy CSP. This setting disables automatic update checks and notifications, effectively preventing Windows 10 devices from automatically downloading and installing updates. The 'AllowAutoUpdate' setting is not present or set to '0', which would explicitly disable automatic updates, but the 'UpdateNotificationLevel' of '1' achieves the same outcome by suppressing all update-related notifications and background checks.

Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps

Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword

The trap here is that candidates confuse 'UpdateNotificationLevel' with 'AllowAutoUpdate' or think it only affects notifications, not the actual update behavior, but setting it to '1' effectively disables automatic updates by suppressing the trigger for background scans.

Detailed technical explanation

How to think about this question

The 'UpdateNotificationLevel' setting is part of the 'Policy CSP - Update' node, and a value of '1' corresponds to 'Disable all notifications including restart warnings'. This effectively disables the Windows Update client from checking for updates in the background, as the notification level controls the user-facing prompts that trigger update scans. In a real-world scenario, this setting is often used in kiosk or dedicated devices where updates must be manually controlled via a separate management tool like WSUS or Windows Update for Business, but without those additional policies, devices will simply stop updating automatically.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
  • Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
  • Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.

TExam Day Tips

  • Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
  • Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.

Key takeaway

Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Real-world example

How this comes up in practice

A cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
