Introduction

The OS Patch (Patch View) page provides a centralized interface for managing operating system updates for Windows devices. Unlike the Computer View, which focuses on individual device updates, the Patch View allows for bulk management, enabling administrators to oversee patches across multiple devices efficiently.

Requirements

Platform Streamer Version

Supported

OS Versions

 Notes
Windows v3.8.0.7 and up Windows 7 and newer Windows 10+ cannot use the Windows API to set update policies.
Only Professional or higher editions can modify Group Policy for update control.
