In context of this. I would like to ask if I can use Ansible controller to automate Windows hosts patching ?

I am trying to understand what all steps I need to consider and if it can be done without any 3rd party tool (WSUS, Patch Manager Plus etc.) than Ansible ?

Yes you can. I created a custom ansible module that handles windows patching as scaling in Windows patching can be a pain especially on long duration times. 

Which ever way you choose ansible has an answer for it
