Community Insight
Tests the exact update categories of an Intune macOS update policy; the trap is treating critical or firmware updates as part of the catch-all 'All other updates' setting.
In Microsoft Intune, the macOS update policy setting 'All other updates (OS, built-in apps)' governs which updates Policy1 can download and install. This page establishes that macOS and built-in app are the two eligible update types, while critical, firmware, and configuration file updates belong to separate categories.
Selecting critical updates because they sound essential, even though Intune exposes critical updates as a separate macOS update category outside Policy1's configured setting.

Expert Analysis
Why the Answer Is Correct
Intune's macOS software update policy exposes distinct categories: critical updates, firmware updates, configuration file updates, and 'All other updates (OS, built-in apps).' Policy1 configures only the last category to Download and install, so the eligible updates are macOS OS updates and built-in app updates. Microsoft Learn documentation and the option labels in the question confirm this one-to-one mapping. Therefore B (macOS) and E (built-in app) are the two correct choices.Why the Other Options Are Wrong
A configuration file is a separate update category and is not covered by the 'All other updates' setting. C firmware is likewise an independent macOS update category. D critical updates form their own category; they sound important but Policy1 does not configure them. Selecting any of A, C, or D would require an additional policy category setting that is absent from the scenario.Community Comment Notes
pavic initially had doubts but reasoned from Microsoft Learn that the answer should be macOS and built-in app, pointing out that critical is separate. oopspruu lists the four Intune macOS update options and confirms that "All Other Updated (OS, built in apps)" maps to OS and built-in apps. chafe notes that the documentation screenshot shows "critical is it's own category" and says the answer is in the question. jdr002 argued for configuration file and critical, but that assertion conflicts with the named category in Policy1 and with the Microsoft Learn reference cited by multiple learners. The vote distribution strongly agrees with B and E.Official Reference
Exam Strategy
Read the policy setting literally: 'All other updates (OS, built-in apps)' maps one-to-one to macOS and built-in app. Do not overthink that firmware or critical updates are also installed unless a separate policy category is configured.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why doesn't Policy1 install critical updates?
Critical updates are a separate category in the Intune macOS update policy; 'All other updates (OS, built-in apps)' excludes them.
Does the 'All other updates' setting include firmware updates?
No. Firmware is its own update category in macOS software update policies and requires separate configuration.
