Create a Configure Windows Updates Policy

The JumpCloud agent can control the download and deployment of updates to Windows devices with the Configure Windows Updates policy. These policies are only for Windows desktop machines. 

Considerations

The JumpCloud agent can control:

• Automatic installation of minor updates that do not require a reboot.
• Automatic installation of updates during an automatic maintenance window (if this option is chosen).

The JumpCloud agent cannot control:

• Which updates are being pushed outside of the checkboxes, making the distinction between “minor” and “standard” Microsoft updates.
