Important

The information in this article or section only applies if you have Windows Enterprise E3+ or F3 licenses (included in Microsoft 365 F3, E3, or E5) licenses and have activated Windows Autopatch features.

Feature activation is optional and at no additional cost to you if you have Windows 10/11 Enterprise E3 or E5 (included in Microsoft 365 F3, E3, or E5) licenses.

For more information, see Licenses and entitlements. If you choose not to go through feature activation, you can still use the Windows Autopatch service for the features included in Business premium and A3+ licenses.

Windows Autopatch uses the standard automatic update channel for Microsoft Teams.

Device eligibility

For a device to be eligible for automated Teams updates as a part of Windows Autopatch they must meet the following criteria:

  • Microsoft Teams must be installed on the device.
  • The user must be signed into both the device and Teams.
  • The device must be able to access the Teams update service network endpoints.
  • Once the update is downloaded, the user must be logged in with the device in an idle state for at least 40 minutes to ensure that Teams can automatically update.

Update release schedule

The Teams desktop client updates are released once a month for all users, and twice a month for members of the Technology Adoption Program (TAP).

Updates undergo vigorous internal testing and are first released to members of Technology Adoption Program (TAP) for validation. The update usually takes place on a Monday. If a critical update is needed, Teams bypasses this schedule and releases the update as soon as it's available.

End user experience

Teams checks for updates every few hours behind the scenes, download the updates, and then waits for the computer to be idle for at least 40 minutes before automatically installing the update.

When an update is available, the following are required to be able to download the update:

  • The user must be signed into both the device and Teams.
  • The device must have an internet connection.
  • The device must be able to access the required network endpoints to reach the Teams update service.

Note

If a user is on a version of Teams that is out of date, Teams will force the user to update prior to allowing them to use the application.

Pause and resume updates

Windows Autopatch can't pause or resume Teams updates.
