In April, we launched enhanced security for Windows. It allows admins to push device configuration updates, device settings, and more to Windows 10 devices remotely, without any specific network requirements. 

Now, it will be quicker for applied settings to take effect on managed devices faster. Previously, it could take up to six hours for settings to change on a device. With this update, they will take effect in a few minutes in most cases, as long as the device is connected to the internet. This will help ensure devices are updated and in compliance faster and that critical security updates are applied quickly.
