Live Discover - Patches Applied (Windows)

Hello,

The current query for "Patches applied" lists all the patches applied, but does not include patches applied via MSI or downloaded from Windows Update.

Query:

SELECT
hotfix_id,
description,
installed_by,
installed_on
FROM patches

Is there any way to edit the query so that it includes all the patches even those via MSI or downloaded from Windows Update ?

Thank you

  • Hi Selvinen,

    Thanks for reaching out to the Sophos Community Forum. 

    It looks like the table you're querying is sourced from the osquery schema. You can find this mentioned on the following page.
    - osquery.io/.../5.4.0

    I see a couple of different tables are referenced on the following page, namely "pending_windows_updates_patch" and "windows_updates_patch". Will either of these work for your needs?

    I've moved your post over to the Live Discover section of our forum to better assist.
