Update Compliance is no longer an active solution, giving way to Windows Update for Business reports instead. We no longer allow new enrollments into Update Compliance nor the option to regenerate or generate a new CommercialID. To facilitate transition, current users can continue to use Update Compliance until March 31, 2023.


Windows Update for Business reports is built based on the feedback of many Update Compliance users and all who have participated in the preview. With a revamped user experience, richer update deployment data and better alert monitoring, we are confident that these new reports will help you better manage your update compliance goals. Learn how to transition to the new and improved solution at Now generally available: Windows Update for Business reports.

When will this happen:
November 30, 2022: Update Compliance is no longer available for download in the Azure marketplace, and the ability to regenerate or generate a new CommercialID is disabled.
January 15, 2023: The last day for current Update Compliance users to enroll in Windows Update for Business reports, including Azure AD devices, to avoid interruptions. Update Compliance will continue to provide data for eligible devices once these prerequisites are met.
March 31, 2023: The last day the legacy Update Compliance solution is available.
