Source facts

\n

Intune compatibility insights are specific to the Windows target version selected when the report is generated. Generated reports are cached for the individual administrator; other Intune users cannot see that generated report. Windows diagnostic data supplies the reports, with documented end-to-end latency of approximately 52 hours. Microsoft Learn.

\n

Applicability

\n

Use this review when an Intune readiness or compatibility-risk report supports a Windows feature-update decision. Name the proposed operating-system release and device scope in the review request before generating evidence.

\n

DSE recommendation

\n

DSE recommends attaching the selected target, scope and generation time to each compatibility decision. Regenerate the report when either the proposed release or evidence freshness changes. Agree on an explicit handoff method for the review output so another administrator can reproduce the same query context.

\n

Verification

\n

Have a second reviewer generate the report with the recorded target and scope and compare the findings. For a remediated compatibility issue, allow for the documented reporting delay before judging the result. Retain the identified application or driver issue and the deployment decision together; avoid treating an unlabeled export as universal Windows readiness.
