Patch Management
Configure OS Updates and Patches
- How patch management worksUnderstand patch policies, rings, cycles and optional alert suppression during patching.
- Set up patch policies and cyclesConfigure patch policies, approvals, rings and optional automatic maintenance mode.
- Review patch resultsSee which devices installed, failed, or missed an update in octoja — across your whole fleet in the Update Catalog, or per maintenance cycle.
- Understand Smart Patch AdvisoriesLearn how octoja warns you about problematic Windows updates — from public advisories and from what other partners do with the same KB.
- Exclude or block updatesStop a specific update from installing in octoja — exclude it in a patch policy, or block it globally across your whole instance.
- Create an emergency patch cycleRoll an urgent update out right away in octoja — an emergency patch cycle bypasses the staged ring schedule and the usual review step.
- Roll Out Windows Feature UpdatesLearn why a Windows feature update such as 11 25H2 appears in a patch cycle but never installs, and how to configure a policy that deploys it.
