Windows Updates

Overview

The Windows Updates page is an inventory page which displays every Windows Update package which is applicable to devices across your environment, as well as its current installation status on eligible devices.

This page is accessible under Inventory | Windows Updates in the left navigation bar. 

KB status groups

You can click any of the numerical counts under KB statuses to view the group of devices with that status for that specific KB. 

The status icons, in order, represent the following statuses:

Installing updates

Windows Updates can be installed using any of these methods:

On the Windows Updates page:

1. To Install a Windows Update onto all eligible devices, you can either: 
   • Select (or multi-select) updates by clicking the checkboxes in the left column, and click the Install button. 
   • Click the Install link in the righthand column for an individual update, and click Install to confirm the count that which will receive the installation command. You can click the checkbox if you do not want to see the confirmation again. 
   • Updates that lack a KB number from Microsoft (such as driver updates) are not installable using this method and do not appear on this page. 

2. To Install a Windows Update onto one or more specific devices (but not all), click the number representing the devices for which that update is Not installed. 
   
   This will take you to a filtered group of devices eligible for that update. 
   

   You can perform either of these actions: 

   • Click the Install link in the righthand column to install the update on that device. Click Install to confirm, and click the checkbox if you do not want to see the confirmation again. 
     
   • Click the checkboxes to multi-select devices, and click the Install button at the top of the page to install the update onto the selected devices. Click Install to confirm, and as before, you may click the checkbox if you do not want to see the confirmation again. 

On the Windows Updates device tab:

From the Devices page, click to an individual device, and then switch to the Windows updates tab. 

From this page, you can select individual or multiple updates, and click the Install button. 
As with the methods above, there is a confirmation and checkbox to suppress it going forward.
