    Hello Rocksteps，

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum.

    Here is a concise step-by-step guide for updating security patches on Windows IoT Enterprise running on medical devices:

    1. Preparation and Backup:
    • Backup Data: Ensure all critical data and configurations are backed up.
    • Know Your Environment: Understand the specifics of your Windows IoT Enterprise version and the medical device setup.
    1. Review Update Policy:
    • Check Policies: Review your organization’s policies and the medical device manufacturer's recommendations for updates.
    • Testing: Test patches in a controlled environment before live deployment.
    1. Configure Windows Update:
    • Group Policy:
      1. Open Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc).
      2. Navigate to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Update.
      3. Configure policies like “Configure Automatic Updates”.
    1. Use WSUS:
    • Set Up WSUS:
      1. Open Server Manager and select Add roles and features.
      2. Follow the wizard to install WSUS.
    • Configure WSUS: Download updates and approve them for the IoT devices.
    1. Manual Updates (if needed):
    • Download Updates:
    • Install Manually:
      • Run the update installers
    1. Monitor and Validate:
    • Post-Update Monitoring: Check for issues and ensure all functionalities are operational.
    1. Emergency Rollback Plan:
    • Rollback: Be prepared to restore from backups if issues occur.
    1. Documentation:
    • Record Updates: Document all updates, including versions and any encountered issues.
