Windows Update inventory
Request a signed scan and review applicable update identity, title, KB references, classification, severity, size, download state, and reboot behavior.
Windows patch management
Patch deliberately. Explain every result.
Nizlo connects Windows Update scans, policy scope, maintenance windows, selected installs, reboot rules, and durable receipts—so patching is a controlled operating process instead of a green summary.
Controlled Windows patching
From applicable update to attributable outcome.
The current workflow is Windows-first and evidence-first. It keeps policy, targeting, eligibility, execution, and the resulting state connected to the managed endpoint.
Scoped patch policies
Define a tenant baseline and targeted customer, site, group, or endpoint policies without flattening every managed device into one rule.
Approval classes
Auto-approve selected critical, security, update-rollup, or definition classes while leaving other applicable updates for deliberate review.
Maintenance windows
Set maintenance days, start time, duration, and IANA time zone so eligible work remains inside the approved operating window.
Reboot control
Choose whether a policy never restarts automatically or may restart when Windows Update reports that a reboot is required.
Installation receipts
Retain the selected update identities, per-update result codes, overall outcome, and reboot-required state instead of treating dispatch as success.
The patch loop
Scan, approve, install, and verify.
Establish fresh posture
Request a signed Windows Update scan and review the applicable identities, classes, severity, size, and reboot behavior.
Confirm policy and target
Verify the effective scope, approval classes, maintenance window, time zone, and reboot rule before dispatching selected work.
Reconcile every outcome
Review the installation receipt, distinguish success from partial or failed work, track reboot state, and confirm post-change health.
Patch-management buying boundaries
Validate the process your contracts actually require.
A controlled pilot should expose what the tool covers, what it leaves unknown, and what remains in the rest of your patch and vulnerability-management stack.
Use now
Windows Update scans, selected or policy-approved installations, tenant-to-device policy scope, maintenance windows, reboot rules, patch posture, job history, and per-update receipts.
Prove in the pilot
Scan freshness, update classifications, policy inheritance, time-zone behavior, offline-device handling, maintenance-window enforcement, restart behavior, failure evidence, and post-install health.
Keep elsewhere when required
A broad curated third-party application catalog, vulnerability prioritization, local distribution cache, or cross-platform patch depth that your environment requires and the Nizlo pilot does not prove.
Frequently asked questions
Windows RMM patching, with scope made explicit.
Does Nizlo include Windows patch management?
Yes. Nizlo can request a Windows Update scan, retain the applicable update inventory, install selected or policy-approved updates, and record a structured result for each selected update. Validate the complete scan, approval, install, reboot, and recovery cycle on noncritical devices before expanding.
How can an MSP scope patch policies in Nizlo?
Patch policies can apply at tenant, customer, site, group, or individual endpoint scope. Group policies support explicit priority, while the effective policy view helps a technician verify the rule that applies to a device before installation.
Can Nizlo restrict patching to a maintenance window?
Yes. A policy defines maintenance days, start time, duration, and time zone. Patch installation is rejected when it falls outside the active effective window, which should still be tested against each customer's approved schedule and exception process.
Does Nizlo patch third-party applications?
Nizlo does not claim a broad curated third-party application patch catalog. Its current Windows-first workflow uses Windows Update inventory and installation. Keep a separate application-patching tool when your required publishers or packages are not proven in the pilot.
Can I test Nizlo patch management without a credit card?
Yes. The 14-day trial does not require a credit card and does not automatically convert into a paid subscription. Start with a lab device or a small authorized ring, then make a written expand-or-remove decision.
