How to Configure Scheduled Install Time for Windows Updates using Intune Policy

The Scheduled Install Time policy in Intune allows IT administrators to define a specific hour of the day—using a 24-hour format—for Windows updates to be installed on managed devices. This ensures updates occur at predictable times, reducing disruption during work hours and improving compliance.

The policy is part of Windows Update for Business and can be configured through Intune’s Settings Catalog by selecting the appropriate setting, assigning it to device groups, and specifying the desired installation hour. Admins can also restrict user access to manually initiate updates, further streamlining the update process.

Once configured, the policy can be verified through client-side logs such as Event Viewer and MDM Policy Manager, confirming successful deployment. The policy applies at the device level and supports various Windows 10 editions starting from version 1507.

Admins can manage the policy lifecycle by removing assigned groups or deleting the policy entirely when no longer needed. This structured approach helps maintain device security while minimizing user impact, making it a valuable tool for enterprise IT environments.
