MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
You need to ensure that Windows 10 devices automatically receive Microsoft 365 Apps updates from the Internet when not connected to the corporate network. Which update channel should you configure?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse the Monthly Enterprise Channel with the Current Channel, assuming that 'Monthly' implies automatic Internet updates, but the Monthly Enterprise Channel is actually designed for managed deployment and does not support automatic Internet-based updates for off-network devices.

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
✓
Current Channel
The Current Channel is the correct choice because it provides the most frequent updates for Microsoft 365 Apps, and it is the only channel that supports automatic updates from the Internet (via the Office Content Delivery Network) when devices are not connected to the corporate network. This channel is designed for devices that need the latest features and security updates without relying on on-premises update infrastructure.
