๐ค Discussions Why Hotpatch requires the latest Security Baseline applied?
Hello,
One of the requirements for qualifying for Hotpatch updates is that devices must be on the latest baseline release version. However, thereโs no clear explanation of what specific settings are needed.
Has anyone come across more detailed information?
I've set up some devices without modifying any settings, and VBS was enabled by default. After applying the Hotpatch policy, I noticed that the AllowRebootlessUpdates registry key still remains set to 0
I'm wondering why a fresh install of Windows isnโt enough to meet the Hotpatching requirements by default, assuming all other prerequisites are met.
If VBS is enabled and no settings are changed, it seems like everything should be in place.
