Summary:
Device configuration templates for Windows created before July 15 will be migrated to a new settings platform. This migration will not affect the profiles' enforcement or configured values. Post-migration, some templates will only be configurable within the Settings catalog, and a new policy editing experience will be introduced. Users utilizing Microsoft Graph API should update to new graph endpoints. No further action is required.
Details:
Starting on July 15 or soon after, we will begin migrating device configuration policies to the new, unified settings platform. Specifically, these are the profiles created by navigating to Devices > Configuration > Create new policy > Windows 10 and later > Templates in the Intune admin center.
The unified settings platform is the foundation of the settings catalog, which provides quick access to policy and settings. Additionally, it provides consistency across naming, tooltips, available values, and standardizes the "not configured" value for policy settings regardless of where you interact with the policy.
More details on each template's migration experience are highlighted in the blog: Support tip: Windows device configuration policies migrating to unified settings platform in Intune.
