Manage third-party patches for Windows devices

Third-party patching and remediation help technicians close security gaps by identifying affected applications, installing available updates, and tracking patch status.

Third-party patching helps you install updates for supported third-party applications on managed devices.

Third-party remediation helps you act on application vulnerabilities by using available patch actions to reduce risk. Together, these capabilities help technicians move from detection to remediation in a single workflow.

Supported applications and platform coverage can vary. Application availability is based on the current third-party application catalog, which can change as products are added or removed.

See Supported third-party patches for a tile-based view of all supported third-party patches, making it easy to review the patches available for third-party software.

Install third-party patches

Use the third-party patching catalog to view available updates for supported third-party applications. Go back to the affected devices, and start the patch installation from the patch work-flow.

A patch can fail when an application is running and the installer cannot force-close it. Close the application and try the installation again during an appropriate maintenance window.
