- Patch for Windows User's Guide
  BigFix Patch for Windows™ provides Fixlets for Microsoft™ security and non-security patches. Dashboards, wizards, and reports aid you in managing updates for various endpoint devices.

    Patch for Windows™ creates Fixlets for the patches that Microsoft™ issues. The BigFix agent checks the registry, systems language, and other factors to determine if the patches are not installed or if an installed patch is corrupt. Notes® placed in the Fixlet® descriptions help Console Operators work around potential issues.

    You can manage Fixlets using dashboards, reports, and wizards. You can deploy, fix, and uninstall Fixlets. You can also view the breakdown of Fixlets available or needed in your deployment.
