Roll out Windows 11 feature updates and upgrade eligible Windows 10 devices from a centralized console. Patch Manager Plus helps you test, schedule, stage, and deploy feature updates across your network while reducing bandwidth consumption and user disruption.
Key features
Automate feature update deployment
Enable the feature pack option while configuring an Automated Patch Deployment (APD) task to automate Windows 11 feature update deployment. Set your deployment rules once and let Patch Manager Plus handle recurring deployments.
Upgrade eligible Windows 10 devices to Windows 11
Move eligible Windows 10 devices to Windows 11 through an in-place upgrade workflow. Deploy the feature update to targeted devices while maintaining your centalized patch management process.
Deploy to selected devices first
Don't upgrade every endpoint at once. Target specific computers or groups for a controlled rollout. Start with a pilot group, validate the update, then expand deployment to the rest of your environment.
Test before wider deployment
Test the Windows 11 feature update on a pilot group before deploying it across your production environment. This gives IT teams an opportunity to identify the application, hardware, or any configuration issues before a broader rollout.
Reduce bandwidth consumption
Windows 11 feature updates can be significantly larger than regular patches. Patch Manager Plus uses its LAN/WAN architecture to replicate downloaded patch binaries from the Patch Manager Plus server to remote and branch-office endpoints. This reduces the need to separately download the same update for every endpoint.
Schedule deployments around working hours
Schedule feature update deployments during maintenance windows or non-production hours to minimize disruption. Control when updates are installed based on your organization's deployment schedule.
Deploy Windows 11 feature updates across multiple languages
Deploy Windows 11 feature packs across endpoints using different supported language configurations, helping organizations manage distributed and multilingual environments from a single console.
Track deployment status
Monitor the progress and status of feature update deployments across targeted endpoints. Identify successful, failed, and pending deployments so IT teams can follow up on the devices that need attention.
Manage feature updates alongside regular patches
Manage Windows 11 feature updates through the same patch management environment used for regular OS and third-party application updates. This gives IT teams a single workflow for maintaining endpoint security and maintaining to-to-date operating systems.
How Patch Manager Plus simplifies Windows 11 upgrades
Windows 11 feature updates involve more than downloading and installing a large update. IT teams need to determine which devices are ready, test the update, plan deployment windows, account for bandwidth, and monitor the rollout.
Patch Manager Plus brings these steps into a centralized workflow:
Identify eligible devices → Test on a pilot group → Schedule deployment → Roll out to targeted devices → Monitor deployment status
This allows IT teams to move from a broad OS upgrade to a controlled, phased deployment.
