A client scanning for updates against an HTTP-based WSUS will no longer be allowed to leverage a user proxy by default. If you still require a user proxy despite the security trade-offs, a new software updates client setting is available to allow these connections.

    Support for Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC on Desktop Analytics

    The long-term servicing channel (LTSC) was designed for Windows 10 devices and use cases where the key requirement is that functionality and features don’t change over time. The LTSC servicing model prevents Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC devices from receiving the usual feature updates and provides only quality updates to ensure that device security stays up to date. For customers that want to shift from LTSC to the semi-annual servicing channel to have access to new features, services, and other major changes, Desktop Analytics now supports enrolling and evaluating LTSC devices in your deployment plans.

    Syntax highlighting for scripting languages in the Configuration Manager console

    To assist you when creating scripts and queries in the Configuration Manager console, you will now see syntax highlighting. Supported languages include PowerShell, JavaScript/JScript, VBScript and SQL/WQL.
