Previously, in 2019, Microsoft made an announcement about its plan to apply machine learning technology to improve the reliability, accuracy, and experience of Windows Update.

'We've begun the first phase of rolling out training of machine learning (ML) algorithms, targeting Windows 10 devices running on version 2004 through automatic updates to Windows 10 versions 21H1. We'll continue to train the algorithms through the entire process needed to intelligently deploy new versions of Windows 10 and deliver a smooth update experience for users."
