To help organizations stay current and benefit from the latest Microsoft 365 innovation, we are modernizing the Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel to streamline update options and align with evolving customer needs. These changes simplify channel management and encourage broader adoption of update cadences that deliver features and security updates more efficiently. <\/p>\n

This message applies to Windows desktop apps. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s changing<\/i> <\/p>\n

    • This channel will be reserved for specialized non-attended scenarios where more frequent updates are not practical. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Monthly Enterprise Channel improvements <\/p>\n

        \n
      • Starting June 1, 2025, the Monthly Enterprise Channel will support N, N-1, and N-2 builds, giving admins greater flexibility during deployment validation. <\/li>\n
      • All update channels will continue to receive security updates on Patch Tuesday. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        What you need to do
        <\/i><\/p>\n

        Now is the time to evaluate your update strategy: <\/p>\n

          \n
        • Migrate devices off the Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel Preview to ensure they continue receiving security updates. <\/li>\n
        • Move interactive or user-facing devices to the Monthly Enterprise Channel for a more modern, validated experience. <\/li>\n
        • For any remaining devices on the Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel, plan to follow the twice-yearly update cycle in January and July. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
