Review the settings and click Next; the updates will be downloaded. When the wizard is done, the software updates will show up under Overview ➢ Software Updates ➢ Deployment Packages ➢ <deployment package name> in the Software Library workspace of the Configuration Manager console.

Creating a Software Update Group

As stated earlier in the chapter, a software update group in Configuration Manager contains a set of software updates. A software update group offers several benefits when deploying and monitoring software updates and is part of Microsoft’s recommended Software Updates workflow.

Tracking the compliance state for the software updates in deployments is an important task for Configuration Manager administrators. When update groups are used, you can use the Compliance 1 - Overall Compliance report for the set of updates in the update group or the Compliance 3 - Update Group (Per Update) report to get a list of the updates in an update group and the overall compliance of each. This is a great reason to use the update groups as a part of your software update procedure.

To create a software update group, follow these steps:

In the Configuration Manager console, choose Software Library ➢ Overview ➢ Software Updates ➢ All Software Updates.

Choose Saved Searches in the Search area of the ribbon of the Configuration Manager console, and click More or use the Recent Searches option.

Select the created Windows 10 - Security Updates Search and click OK.

Sort the updates in the list so that the updates required by the most clients are at the top by clicking the Required column twice.

Hold down the Shift key and select all the updates that have at least one client requiring that update.

Click Create Software Update Group, and fill in the name and description of the software update group.

Click Create, and the software update group will be created.
