Seriously, Another Intune Update?!
Right, so Microsoft decided to grace us with another Intune update. Because clearly, we weren’t busy enough already wrestling with the existing mess. This one, supposedly rolling out in August 2025 (yeah, they plan this stuff *way* ahead, don’t they?), is mostly a bunch of minor tweaks and “improvements” that will probably break something else.
Here’s the gist, if you can stomach it:
- Admin Center Updates: They’ve fiddled with the UI again. Expect to relearn where everything is. Fantastic.
- Endpoint Analytics: More reports. Because what we *really* need are more dashboards telling us things are on fire.
- Remote Assistance: Now you can remotely assist people…great, another way for users to screw up their machines and blame IT.
- App Protection Policies: Some new stuff with selective wipe. Probably won’t work as advertised.
- Compliance Policies: More granular control over compliance settings. Which means more things to configure incorrectly.
- Security Score: They’re still obsessed with this score, and it will still be a useless metric.
- Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Integration: More integration…meaning more places where things can go wrong.
Honestly, the whole thing feels like they’re throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks. Don’t expect any groundbreaking features here; it’s just the usual cycle of “fixing” problems that wouldn’t exist if they hadn’t broken them in the first place.
Prepare for headaches, people. You’ve been warned.

I once spent three days troubleshooting an Intune policy that was inexplicably blocking access to a perfectly legitimate internal website. Turned out, some genius had accidentally included a single space in the app whitelist. A space. Three days. I swear, sometimes I think these systems are actively trying to ruin my life.
