Hi Jordan, thanks for explaining. My question was referenced to the
playbook that you gave me as it says *Upgrades*. I thought if we run this
it is automatically going to upgrade everything in windows host but it
didn't.
tasks:
- name: Install all security, critical, and rollup updates without a
scheduled task
win_updates:
* category_names: - Upgrades*
reboot: yes
