Ask about one missing update.
Work › patches, on the machine. Each missing update has ask. The question lands in Discuss. Send is still the next press.
Open Work › patches
Open the machine, then work › patches. Each row ends with ask. The September cumulative update is already approved and wants a restart. Chrome is still awaiting. Ask writes a question about that one update. It does not approve it and it does not install it. The machine in this picture is painted connected, so scan now and install 1 approved… are on the bar. Scan and install talk to the agent. This shot stops on the list.
Press ask on the update
Press ask on the September cumulative update. Discuss opens with the question already written: why this machine needs it, what it fixes, whether it is safe to approve, and whether it needs a restart. The update is already approved; edit the question if you want a narrower answer, such as whether the restart can wait. Send is the next press. This shot stops before that, so no investigation starts. New thread drops this draft.
The question for every update on this machine is discuss with BE AI, covered in See missing updates on one machine. The same ask word on Patches › updates is about that update for every machine missing it. The company-wide discuss button is Ask which updates to approve first. Approving still installs nothing. On a connected machine, Install the approved updates on this machine opens the job already narrowed to this box. Schedule a patch install is the same form for a company or a group. A sub-company user has ask and no approve: Ask about one update on your machine.
