Check summary
What this check verifies
Windows Autopatch deployment is not in a healthy state (paused, faulted, or cancelled).
Why it matters
When a deployment's effectiveValue is paused, faulted, or cancelled, it is not delivering content to its audience. Faulted indicates a service-side error condition that needs operator attention. Paused stops patch flow until manually resumed. Cancelled means no further work will happen on this deployment object.
How to fix it
Open the deployment in the Intune admin center (Devices -> Windows -> Windows updates -> Deployments). For paused, decide whether to resume or replace. For faulted, inspect the state.reasons collection in the Graph response for the underlying cause and remediate.
Siemserva flags every tenant where this check fails and, with Senserva Trustworthy AI remediation, can propose a validated fix you approve before it applies.
