Hey everyone! We're working to streamline how Connect handles Windows patching, and we're ready for you to get involved. Here's a quick look at how this is gonna play out:

Phase 1: A new interface for auditing Windows KBs and deploying updates to devices in bulk.

• Sure, you can technically do this today if you build the right groups, packages, reports, etc. but the goal here is to make it more visible and simpler to manage. (attached screenshots show an idea of the concepts)

We’re planning to open up Early Access in June, sign up here to if you want to try it out: https://forms.office.com/r/NpE9Y575D7

Phase 2: Policy-driven Windows patch automation.

• Instead of manually triggering deployments, you get to declare how Connect should manage patching and compliance. We’re exploring things like:

>Maintenance windows
Schedule based on Patch Tuesday
Reboots and deferrals
Deployment rings
Compliance reporting

We’re still gathering feedback on how this should work, if you'd like to contribute you can schedule time with us here: https://calendly.com/d/ct69-w8v-mjv/pdq-product-team-windows-os-patching
