MD-102 Protect devices Practice Question
You have a hybrid Microsoft Entra ID joined Windows 10 device that is co-managed with Configuration Manager and Intune. You want Intune to manage Windows Update for Business settings. Which slider setting should you configure in Configuration Manager?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse 'Windows Update policies' with 'Device configuration' or 'Endpoint protection', assuming that update settings fall under a broader configuration or security category, but Microsoft specifically separates update management into its own workload slider.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Move the slider for 'Windows Update policies' to 'Intune'
In a co-management scenario, workload sliders in Configuration Manager determine which authority manages specific workloads. To have Intune manage Windows Update for Business settings, you must move the slider for 'Windows Update policies' to Intune. This shifts the policy authority from Configuration Manager to Intune, allowing Intune's Update Rings and feature update policies to control Windows Update behavior on the device.
