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.

Manage an active support request

The primary contact for the support request receives email notifications when a case is created, assigned to a service engineer to investigate, and mitigated. If, at any point, you have a question about the case, the best way to get in touch is to reply directly to one of those emails. If we have questions about your request or need more details, we email the primary contact listed on the support requests.

You can see the summary status of all your support requests. At any time, you can use the portal to see all active support requests in the last six months.

To view all your active support requests:

  1. Sign into the Intune admin center and navigate to the Tenant Administration menu.

  2. In the Windows Autopatch section, select Support request.
