Description
Features introduced via servicing (outside of the annual feature update) are off by default for devices that have their Windows updates managed*.
If this policy is configured to “Enabled”, then all features available in the latest monthly quality update installed will be on.
If this policy is set to “Not Configured” or “Disabled” then features that are shipped via a monthly quality update (servicing) will remain off until the feature update that includes these features is installed.
*Windows update managed devices are those that have their Windows updates managed via policy; whether via the cloud using Windows Update for Business or on-premises with Windows Server Update Services (WSUS).
