Set the sync app update ring
Updates to the OneDrive sync app (OneDrive.exe) are released to the public through three rings-first to Insiders, then Production, and finally Deferred. This setting lets you specify the sync app version for users in your organization. When you enable this setting and select a ring, users won't be able to change it.
Insiders ring users will receive builds that let them preview new features coming to OneDrive.
Production ring users will get the latest features as they become available.
Deferred ring users get new features, bug fixes, and performance improvements last. This ring lets you deploy updates from an internal network location and control the timing of the deployment (within a 60-day window).
If you disable or do not configure this setting, users will get OneDrive sync app updates when they become available in the Production ring. Users can join the Office or Windows Insiders programs to get updates on the Insiders ring.
