Windows 11 Upgrade

How do I block just the Windows 11 Update to my clients.

I wan't all other monthly updates but am not ready to roll out Windows 11.

 

Is there a way to block just this one update?

Wouldnt this be something you set on your managed client or update server

I don't know the answer.

 

There will be a registry key or group policy you can apply to do this.  You would do it at that layer rather than on a Meraki device.

Agreed, the best solution in this case is WSUS, or some other automated management solution to help manage when updates are rolled out to clients: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-server-update-services/get-st...

You could use the built-in feature on Windows Update called ""Metered Connection"" to block the Windows 11 update temporarily.
