Scott Edwards from Microsoft presents Windows Hot Patch, an innovative feature in Windows 11 that revolutionizes the way security updates are managed. Hot Patch eliminates the need for reboots, reducing annual reboots from 12 to just 4, thereby minimizing downtime and increasing productivity by up to 20%. Available for devices running the second half 2024 edition of Windows 11 and managed through Intune with enterprise agreements (E3, E5, or Windows 365), this feature enhances operational efficiency while maintaining robust security. With a 62% reduction in security incidents compared to Windows 10, Scott emphasizes why upgrading to Windows 11 is essential before Windows 10’s end-of-support in October 2025.
