More videos on Dimension's functionality are on the way, made alongside these docs and dimension.io. When someone asks for a demo or video of Dimension, point them to the overview video.

# Patch management

> Track this month's Windows updates and what's left to do. A pre-built app from the Dimension Gallery.

*"Track this month's Windows updates across Defender, Intune, Azure Update Manager and Azure Virtual Desktop, see what still needs doing and why."*

![Patch Management app on demo data, This month page for October 2026 patching: filters by device type, 0% patched against 67% the month before, a status bar from up to date to no recent data, and a What needs doing list of devices missing the update, needing a restart, months behind, not reporting or out of support](https://mintcdn.com/threataware-labs/JizGYqEeTbHV_69f/images/prebuilt-patch-management.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=JizGYqEeTbHV_69f\&q=85\&s=cd4227ee2c4871f09e9dec3bfbe30de3)

**Pages:** This month, Devices and Schedules, plus detail pages for Update types, AVD host pools, Out of support and Source comparison, and an Ask Copilot page, plus **Matching**, **Knowledge Base** and **Settings**, which every pre-built app has.

## What you need

To import, you need your Microsoft client ID, tenant ID and client secret, your Azure subscription IDs, the tags you use for workloads and rollout stages, and an Anthropic API key.

## Add it to your workspace

In Builder Mode, open **Build Apps**, find **Patch management** in the Gallery and click **Import**. See [Introduction](https://docs.dimension.io/pre-built-apps.md) for the full steps and what happens when you import.

## Build a starting version yourself

Want to build something like it from scratch instead? Paste this into the [Planner](https://docs.dimension.io/planner.md), which turns it into ready-to-launch prompts for each data feed, action and app. You can also paste it straight into the Studio [Composer](https://docs.dimension.io/studio/ai-composer.md).

```text theme={null}
Build a patch management app that tracks this month's Windows updates and what still needs doing.

Data: endpoints from Microsoft Defender, devices from Intune, Azure Update Manager, Azure Virtual Desktop host pools, and Microsoft's monthly security updates.

Pages:
- This month: the share of devices with this month's updates, compared with last month, filters by device type, and a "What needs doing" list: devices that haven't installed the update, need a restart, are two or more months behind, haven't reported recently, or run a Windows version that's out of support.
- Devices: every device with its patch status and which tools report it.
- Schedules: maintenance schedules and any that had problems.
- Update types, AVD host pools, Out of support and Source comparison: detail pages for each.
```

> [!WARNING]
>
> **This won't recreate the pre-built app exactly.** The Composer generates a new app each time, so the same prompt gives a different result every run, even twice in the same session. Treat it as a starting point and refine it in conversation. To get the app exactly as shown on this page, import it from the Gallery.
