Windows 11 23H2 Feature Pack Deployment

Note
Deployment of Windows 11 23H2 feature pack is supported only in Patch Manager Plus build versions 10.0.147 and above.

Note: For users with Windows 11 version 22H2, it is only required to deploy the Enablement Package patches to upgrade to Windows 11,version 23H2.

Note
The SSP (Self-Service Portal) method is not applicable for performing feature pack upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 via Patch Management

Steps to deploy Windows 11 23H2 update

1.Prerequisites

  1. Before deployment, run through the Compatibility Check available towards the end of the page, to find if you meet all the minimum requirements that impact upgradeability.
  2. Ensure that feature pack option is enabled under Patch database settings.
    In Patch Manager Plus: Patch Mgmt -> Settings -> Patch Database Settings -> click on the Windows tab and enable the Feature Pack option.
    In Patch Manager Plus: Admin -> Settings -> Patch Database Settings -> click on the Windows tab and enable the Feature Pack option.
  3. Ensure that you have not declined the feature pack updates under Decline Patches.

2.Download and add the dependency patch (ISO file) to the Patch store.

Applicable from build 2605 and above:
Starting from build 2605, manual upload of the ISO file is not mandatory for Feature Pack deployment.
Key Points:
1. Dependency patches will not appear in the “Uploaded Patches” view by default.
2. The system will automatically handle ISO download and deployment during the Feature Pack deployment process.
3. If the ISO download fails, the corresponding dependency patch will appear in the Uploaded Patches view, allowing manual intervention.
4. If a previously uploaded ISO is available, the deployment will continue using the manually uploaded file.
5. If patches were previously uploaded and later deleted for any reason, the dependency patch will not appear in the “Uploaded Patches” view but will be automatically re-downloaded during the next deployment attempt.
