Summary

The dataview displays the latest approved patches and their release dates.

The dataview filters the patches that it displays based on the following requirements:

  • Patches should be in the default policy.
  • Patches displayed should have been released within the last two months.
  • Do not display any patch that was denied.
  • Do not display any patch that pertains to Windows Defender or malicious software removal.
