Microsoft is opening Windows Update to third-party apps

  • May 31, 2025
  • Com 0

Microsoft is previewing a Windows Update orchestration platform for app developers and management tool vendors, aiming to centralize update scheduling across Windows 11 devices.

On Tuesday, Redmond announced it’s allowing a select group of developers and product teams to hook into the Windows 11 update framework. The system doesn’t push updates itself but allows apps to register their own update logic via WinRT APIs and PowerShell, enabling centralized scheduling, logging, and policy enforcement.

“Updates across the Windows ecosystem can feel like a fragmented experience,” wrote Angie Chen, a product manager, in a blog post. “To solve this, we’re building a vision for a unified, intelligent update orchestration platform capable of supporting any update (apps, drivers, etc.) to be orchestrated alongside Windows updates.”

As with other Windows updates, the end user or admin will be able to benefit from intelligent scheduling, with updates deferred based on user activity, system performance, AC power status, and other environmental factors. For example, updates may install when the device is idle or plugged in, to minimize disruption.
