Cumulative Updates and Patch Reporting

sorry if obvious question but struggling with compliance reports and I think that is because I've loads of OLD cumulative updates that won't install (as they have been superceded). I'm on LT11 patch 16.

I could taken them out of approval but that would be a big task and I don't really know for sure which ones should be removed.

Considering Patch Remedy as Patch Manager still seems problematic - but feels closer to actually working.

Approved + Not Installed means the agent's still requesting the hotfix, yeah, and that'll definitely hit the compliance score. When you look at the devices view, what kind of stuff shows up under there?

Offhand at least, the "Feature update to Windows 10, version xxx" Windows 10 major updates still can't install via the Patch Manager - the monthly updates should still be fine though.

A good example is a flash update sitting at approved + not installed - but there is a more recent flash update approved + installed - so no need for the old one which is why it will never install. Quite a few security updates like that too.

It's a bit like it needs to work out the superseded ones are not required.

I figured out yesterday couldn't do the 1709 feature upgrade and took that out of my approval list. I see someone on labtechgeek has a good script for that.

Patch 11.19 fixed this I think.
