This will be made available via the self-update channel over the coming days. You can upgrade in place now by downloading the latest MSI installer.

Features

• Improve conflicting process timeout options
  • ConfigMgr and Intune timeout increased to their respective maximums, minus a 15-minute buffer.
    • ConfigMgr App Max: 705 minutes
    • Intune Max: 45 minutes
  • New option to use ‘maximum run time’ from the respective update or app.
    • ConfigMgr Update Max: Will use configured update ‘max run time’ as configured in ConfigMgr for the update.
      • Note: Update max run time must be edited before the update is deployed for a client to recognize the change.
    • ConfigMgr App Max: Will use the configured deployment time ‘max run time.’
    • Intune App/Update Max: Will use the maximum run time of an Intune Win32 app (60 minutes minus the 15-minute buffer).

Improvements

• Text boxes within the UI now implement an autocomplete for file paths and URLs.
• The Manage Conflicting Processes notification will now display ‘update’ based language for an Intune Update. For example, the button will say ‘Close and Update’ instead of ‘Close and Install.’

Fixes

• Fixed a bug where the Publisher would throw an exception if a ConfigMgr scope is deleted, but still associated with a product in the Publisher.  
• Fixed a bug where Intune email reports would not include the warning regarding missing local content for applications
• Fixed a bug where the ConfigMgr source folder validation would perform a partial match, such as \\server\source_apps being considered a conflict for \\server\source. We now append a trailing slash to the comparison.
• Fixed a bug where the ‘Prevent Start…’ option for Manage Conflicting Process would throw an access denied error instead of the desired message box.
• Fixed a bug where assignments would be copied from Intune app to Intune updates when the copy between tabs is used.
• Fixed a bug where custom return codes set in the catalog were not processed for updates by the Publisher.
• Fixed a bug where ConfigMgr applications would be revised every sync when the Manage Conflicting Process option is set to an option other than ‘Notify’
