Best Practices for Managing Windows Update Deferrals in Enterprise

Hi all,

We have a medium-sized enterprise environment running mostly Windows 11 and Windows 10 devices. Lately, some critical updates are causing software compatibility issues, and I’m considering deferring updates for certain machines.

Has anyone implemented a strategy for managing update deferrals across different departments without creating security risks? Are there recommended tools or policies for tracking deferred updates and ensuring devices don’t fall behind too much?

Would appreciate any tips, scripts, or documentation you’ve found useful.
