summary for non-techies**

Starting with Windows 11 version 22H2, new devices will automatically install important updates during the out-of-box experience (OOBE), potentially extending the setup time but ensuring the system is fully updated and secure. Organizations using Temporary Access Passwords (TAPs) should extend their validity periods to accommodate the longer setup process.

Direct effects for Operations**

Extended Setup Time
The automatic installation of quality updates during OOBE will increase the time required for device setup, potentially delaying user access to their devices.

Temporary Access Password Validity
If Temporary Access Passwords are not extended, users may face issues logging in if the password expires during the extended setup time.

User Experience Disruption
Users may experience frustration due to longer wait times before they can start using their devices, impacting overall satisfaction with IT services.

Opportunities**

Enhanced User Experience through Pre-Configured Devices
By ensuring that devices are fully patched and updated during the OOBE, users will experience a smoother onboarding process with fewer issues related to software updates. This can significantly reduce the time IT support spends on troubleshooting initial setup problems.
   - next-steps: Communicate the changes to all users and prepare training materials that highlight the benefits of the updated OOBE process. Monitor feedback from users to identify any ongoing issues or areas for further improvement.

Reduction in Support Tickets Related to Updates
With automatic quality updates being applied during the OOBE, the likelihood of users encountering issues related to outdated software is decreased. This can lead to a significant reduction in support tickets, allowing IT staff to focus on more critical tasks.
   - next-steps: Analyze historical support ticket data to identify trends related to update issues. Post-implementation, continue to track support tickets to measure the impact of the changes on ticket volume.

Improved Device Security from Day One
Automatically applying quality updates during the enrollment process ensures that devices are secure from the outset. This proactive approach to security helps mitigate risks associated with unpatched vulnerabilities, enhancing the overall security posture of the organization.
   - next-steps: Review and update security policies to align with the new enrollment process. Conduct training sessions for IT staff to ensure they understand the importance of device security and the changes in the enrollment process.
