Windows 10: How can i stop my users from upgrading to Windows 11 via Intune?

Joshua Hunt joshua.hunt · Oct 8, 2021

Hi, I know this can be done via local group policy but we're managing around 120 devices, so it would be impractical to do that for each of them. Is there a way to create an Intune policy to stop users from upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11? Cheers!

Intune User-driven upgrade issues

Hi Brandan,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand you are facing issues while testing Intune autopilot feature for user-drive profile. I suggest you to refer the article

Troubleshooting Windows Autopilot enrollment issues in Microsoft Intune and see if that helps.

For additional information, you can refer the article
Enroll Windows devices in Intune by using the Windows Autopilot.

If the issue persists, I suggest you to post your query in
TechNet forums, where we have a dedicated team with experts in Microsoft Intune to assist you with the appropriate troubleshooting steps.

What's new in Microsoft Intune

What's new in Microsoft Intune

May 2016

With the exception of TeamViewer integration, all of these features are also supported for hybrid deployments (Configuration Manager with Intune). For more information about new hybrid features, check out the Hybrid What’s New page.

Documentation

Welcome to the preview version of docs.microsoft.com! This is a completely new, modern content platform designed to make it easier for you, our customers to understand and use Intune. To read about all of the new features, see Introducing docs.microsoft.com

Intune service health

Service health information for Intune has been moved to a central location with other Microsoft services. You'll now find this information in the Office 365 management portal under Service Health. For more information, see this blog post.

App management

•MAM SDK: Support PIN length configuration. You will be able to specify the length of the PIN for MAM apps similar to a device PIN. This will require end users to comply with the new restrictions you set. They will see a slightly modified PIN screen to account for the longer input. For details, see MAM policy settings for Android, and MAM policy settings for iOS.

•Skype for Business for iOS and Android. You can now target Skype for business with MAM without enrollment policies. Once users log in, the MAM policies will be applied.

•New apps available for management with MAM policies. The Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint apps for Android can now be associated with MAM policies on devices that are not enrolled with Intune. For a full list of supported apps, go the Microsoft Intune mobile application gallery on the Microsoft Intune application partners page.

Device management
•Remote assistance sessions for Windows PCs. TeamViewer integration for Windows PCs managed by the Intune client software will let you establish remote assistance sessions with Windows PCs to support your help desk department. Supported PCs include Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and Windows 10. For details, see Common Windows PC management tasks with the Microsoft Intune computer client

Company portal updates

Android Company portal app

•End user toast notifications: End users will now see toast notifications from the Android Company Portal app when they are enrolling their devices or removing their devices from the Company Portal.

•Changes to Device Enrollment Managers accounts in the Android Company Portal app. To improve performance and scale, Intune is no longer showing all Device Enrollment Managers (DEM) devices in the My Devices pane of the Android Company Portal app. Only the local device running the app is displayed, and only if it is enrolled via the Company Portal app. The DEM user may perform actions on the local device, but remote management of other enrolled devices can only be performed from the Intune admin console. -

Company Portal website

Company Portal website: Device identification banner will provide more information to end users. End users can now more easily identify the device they’ve selected when they are using the Company Portal website. If the wrong device is selected, they will be able to select the correct device by tapping the Tap here link in the home page banner.

What's coming

•Message center UI onboarding. As part of the migration of Intune into the Office 365 Management portal, we will begin taking advantage of their Message Center to communicate new features and other notifications. Also, by installing the companion Office 365 Admin mobile app, you can receive notifications on your mobile phone and easily forward any messages to users or a distribution alias. We will begin using the Message Center with our May release to notify you when updates are completed and will include information on new and improved Intune features. Check out the Message Center today by logging into the Office 365 Management portal and choosing the MESSAGE CENTER option in the left navigation pane.

•Changes to Device Enrollment Managers accounts. To improve performance and scale, Intune is no longer showing all Device Enrollment Managers (DEM) devices in the My Devices pane of the iOS Company Portal app. Only the local device running the app is displayed, and only if it is enrolled via the Company Portal app. The DEM user may perform actions on the local device, but remote management of other enrolled devices can only be performed from the Intune admin console. Additionally, Intune is deprecating use of DEM accounts with either the Apple Device Enrollment Program or the Apple Configurator tool. Both these enrollment methods already support user-less enrollment for shared iOS devices. Only use DEM accounts when user-less enrollment for shared devices is unavailable.

Cloud roadmap

Keep informed about upcoming developments for Intune with the Cloud Platform roadmap.

Service deprecation

•Intune Viewer apps. With the release of the new RMS sharing app, we are removing the following Intune Viewer apps, beginning August, 2016:
◦Intune AV Viewer
◦Intune PDF Viewer
◦Intune Image Viewer for Android from Google Play

Instead of using the Intune Viewer apps, we recommend using the new Rights Management app (RMS sharing) for Android, which allows you to deploy one app instead of three separate apps to securely view corporate files on Android devices. Learn more about the RMS sharing app (with link to documentation).

•Custom Group Targeting of Notification Rules Removal. Intune notification rules define who an email alert will be sent to from Intune. Currently, you can configure notification rules to send emails to all users of devices in an Intune device group that you created. From around June 1st 2016 moving forward, targeting user-created groups will no longer be supported.

Today, to target a notification rule to a group you created from the Microsoft Intune administration console, you would take the following steps:

In the Admin workspace, click Notification Rules > Create New Rule

In step two of the Create Notification Rule Wizard, select the device groups which the rule will target. This step, “select device groups”, is being removed from the Intune Console.

The preliminary timeline for this change is as follows:
◦In June, 2016, new tenants will not see step two of the Create Notification Rule Wizard. Exiting tenants are unaffected.
◦Around August, 2016, some existing tenants will not see the “select device groups” in the wizard.
◦Around October, 2016, we expect that all tenants will not see the “select device groups” in the wizard.

•Changes in support for the iOS Company Portal app. In the coming months, there will be an update for the Microsoft Intune Company Portal app for iOS that will only support devices running iOS 8.0 or later. Users won’t be able to enroll new devices running versions below iOS 8.0. Enrolled devices running versions below iOS 8.0 will continue to be managed and will, for a limited time, be able to continue using the Company Portal app. However, devices must be on iOS 8.0 or later to access the latest versions of the Company Portal app. We encourage you to notify users to update to iOS 8.0 or later to take full advantage of new Intune features.

Previous Intune releases

Internet Explorer 11; Windows 10....Stopped Working

IE11; Windows 10. For the past 2 weeks when I open IE11 I get Internet Explorer has Stopped working POPUP message rendering IE 11 unusable.

I have followed suggested Fixes by "Resetting" IE11; Use Software Rendering...is NOT checked. I have tried to use "System Restore" and go back to a Restore Point prior to 2 weeks but, I get unable to restore to xx/xx/xxxx because the process cannot file iexplorer.exe.

I have tried several Restore Points...get this same result.

I cannot fine the Internet 11 Install Update to delete it as it is not in the list History\Installed Updates.

Surely there must be away to fix IE 11...I have run out of things to do...suggestions with steps will be appreciated.
