Microsoft explains why your PC often can't update to the latest Windows patches

Microsoft recently announced that it will force compatible Windows 10 devices to update to Windows 10 version 21H2 to train its own machine learning (ML)-based Windows update model. The company also accelerated the rollout of Windows 11 last November because it was so pleased with all the "positive" feedback. As it continues its efforts, a few days ago the Microsoft giant confirmed that Windows 11 is entering its final phase of availability, which basically means wider deployment is imminent.

But despite all of these efforts, if you find that one or more of your Windows devices doesn't seem to update correctly, your PC may be a device that is not fully compatible with the patch according to Microsoft's update connection data one.

Microsoft says its update connectivity data highlights how much internet connection time a computer needs to successfully deliver Windows updates. It is recommended to have at least approximately two hours of pre-update and six hours of post-update internet connection time.

We have found that devices that have not reached a certain connection time are less likely to successfully update. Specifically, the data shows that devices need at least two hours of continuous connection, and a total of six hours after an update is released, to reliably update. This allows for successful downloads and background installations, and the ability to restart or resume once the device is active and connected.

Updating Connection Data can be found on Microsoft Intune under Devices > Monitors Select Feature Update Failed or Windows Accelerated Update Failed, as shown in the image below.

#Microsoft encourages such devices to stay plugged in and connected so that Windows Update can proceed smoothly. You can find more details in the official blog post linked here.
