Windows Updates and Server Lockdown

Crackers

Hello,

Is anyone successfully installing Windows Updates whilst lockdown is enabled?

My understanding is that server updates need to be installed before the server is locked down:https://support.sophos.com/support/s/article/KB-000035355?language=en_US but someone mentioned it might be possible to install Windows Updates even if the server is locked.

Thanks

    Hello Crackers,

    Thank you for reaching out to our community forum.

    It’s not possible to install Windows updates while Server Lockdown is turned on the server. Server lockdown hardens your server, so any changes especially on drive C, won't take effect unless you disable it first.
