MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
You need to deploy a Windows 10 feature update to a pilot group. Which TWO steps are required in Microsoft Intune?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse update rings (which control deferral periods and deadlines) with feature update policies (which explicitly set the target version), leading candidates to select 'Create an update ring' instead of the correct feature update policy.

Correct answer & explanation

Create a feature update policy for Windows 10.
A is correct because a feature update policy in Microsoft Intune is the specific policy type designed to control which Windows 10 feature update version (e.g., 22H2) is offered to devices. This policy allows you to defer or approve updates for pilot groups, ensuring controlled rollout before broad deployment.
