Usually Microsoft, when Microsoft releases a new current branch update, users can download it by running a PowerShell script. This script is also known as enable early update ring script.
When you run the enable early update ring PowerShell script on your ConfigMgr server, it downloads the latest current branch update in the console.
But once the current branch update is made generally available, you don’t have to run the early update ring script. The update appears in the console for everyone.
