FAQ

Questions about patch management

What operating systems does the patch module support?

Windows and Linux. On Windows, OS updates and third-party applications are managed via WinGet. On Linux, compatible distributions and system packages are supported through the agent.

What is third-party patching?

It is the process of detecting installed applications outside the operating system, mapping them to WinGet, checking readiness, deploying updates with control, and verifying the final installed version. In Lunixar, this focuses on third-party Windows applications and does not use an automatic Chocolatey fallback.

Can I approve or reject patches before installing them?

Yes. The platform lets you review pending patches and decide which to apply per device or group before triggering installation.

Is there a log of applied patches?

Yes. There is an update history per device showing which patches were installed, when, and with what result.

Can I schedule automatic updates?

Scheduled patch execution is in development. Currently, installation is triggered manually from the platform when the operator decides.
