Windows server patches are applied as follows:
- Microsoft releases security updates and patches on the 2nd Tuesday (patch Tuesday) of every month.
- IT will install updates for installation on the 4th Saturday of every month, and the updates can be manually applied, or you can wait for the automated installation.
If the system(s) you manage requires any special patching process, you are free to update them on your own.
When applying updates manually, select the option “Check online…”
IMPORTANT
Make sure to apply patches manually AFTER Patch Tuesday.
