If you asked a normal user what they dislike most about Windows 10, the answer would likely be related to patching, rebooting and the generally confusing update process.

We have many people who rely on various patching tools to deploy updates and maintain workstations. There are a number of options, so it’s important to understand how they work (and how they vary) so you can get the most out of them.
