Working with Patch Management in LogMeIn Resolve
You can view and manage those devices where there is at least one Windows or third-party application update available. This feature requires a Premium license.
How it works
Software updates in LogMeIn Resolve are available directly from the Devices page for all your verified Windows devices. There are two types of updates that you can install with LogMeIn Resolve:
- Operating system updates
-
The list of available updates is provided by Microsoft, including the update's category, severity, and other properties that are all listed on one page. You can select any number of devices that you want to update and, similarly, you can choose any Windows update to deploy to your devices. For example, you may want to install all Windows updates to those remote devices that are currently online. In this case, you can sort devices by their
Status.
Tip: Users without a Premium license can also view the available Windows updates on remote devices but they cannot install those updates.Operating system updates are installed by Microsoft's Windows Update service.
- Third-party application updates
- LogMeIn Resolve uses Windows Package Manager (winget) to update third-party applications. To update apps, you can either install all available application updates on selected devices, or install selected application updates on a single device. Third-party apps that you can update with LogMeIn Resolve are listed at https://winget.run/.
Installing updates includes the following steps:
- First you should find the devices where you want to install patch management updates. See View available Windows and third-party app updates in LogMeIn Resolve
- Then, you can install available updates. See Install Windows and third-party app updates in LogMeIn Resolve
- Finally, you can view the installed updates. See View past Windows updates in LogMeIn Resolve
As a best practice, you should always install the latest mandatory Windows updates to your remote devices. By installing critical updates, you reduce your devices' vulnerability.
