Using Microsoft Intune to manage, update and streamline VS updates offers a powerful solution for update management. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By default, Visual Studio updates are not included in Windows updates unless an Intune administrator configures Intune to update devices with VS installed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Microsoft first addressed the challenge of managing VS with Intune back in 2022 with the release of<a href=\"https:\/\/ntweekly.com\/administrative-templates\/#google_vignette\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Administrative Templates (ADMX)<\/a>. ADMX templates are great and allow administrators granular control; however, managing ADMX templates by itself is a challenging task.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-streamline-your-visual-studio-updates-with-microsoft-intune\">Streamline Your Visual Studio Updates with Microsoft Intune<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To overcome the challenges of managing ADMX templates, Microsoft Intune now includes the Visual Studio update settings catalog as part of the built-in Intune Setting Catalog. This means we no longer need to use administrative templates to manage VS updates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To manage VS updates with Microsoft Intune, Create a Configuration profile (Windows) and use the Settings catalogue profile type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"591\" height=\"256\" data-src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-7.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-345 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-7.png 591w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-7-300x130.png 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-7-480x208.png 480w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 591px) 100vw, 591px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 591px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 591\/256;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the settings section, Search for Visual Studio.
