Thereis a mismatch in the patches applicable to server/workstations with BigFix either showing more or less patches(Source Microsoft -> Category -> Security Updates) applicable on machines when compared to windows update being run manually.
Some patches show as completed successfully on the BigFix console but do not appear installed on the server when checked manually (both in Windows Update history as well as Installed updates in Programs and Features.)
Failed patches appear as installed successfully in BigFix console while they appear as failed when checked on the server. The same patch then does not appear as applicable on the server when checked in BigFix console.
With all the Security Vulnerabilities and Zero Day patches being released, using BigFix with the existing inconsistencies has made it very difficult to ensure that the environment is completely patched and not exposed to any threats.
Mismatches do occur, and in my experience there are two reasons for this
a. If you have a WSUS server in your environment, you have to ensure you release updates for endpoints and/or ensure that you check for updates online to get the most up to date deployments available.
b. Sometimes, although this is rare and is usually fixed when brought to IBMs attention (PMRs are your friend), fixlet relevance provided by IBM does not necessarily match what Microsoft is using for applicability. We see this most commonly with Office updates that share common files, and even then only on machines with mismatched Office products. So for example, an endpoint has Office 2016 but then installs a standalone 2013 product.
c. In either of these cases, thorough examination of the fixlet relevance is necessary to determine if you are dealing with a false positive/negative as in example b. This is time consuming and cumbersome, but it really is the only way to quantitatively determine what is going on.
I suspect that this may be related to 2. and 3. though, as fixlet relevance determines if any given fixlet remains relevant after running an action. If you are seeing a patch install in the logs but the fixlet remains relevant, then the conditions in the fixlet relevance remain true. This goes back to 1, where the only real option is to begin digging into the fixlet relevance to determine what is causing a given patch fixlet to report relevant (i,e, which conditions are true prior to and after installing the patch).
Now, there is a caveat in the above statement in that Microsoft has added a requirement for January that endpoints must have a registry key set either by compatible Anti-Virus software or manually, but the same above statement is true for October to November vs September to November, for instance.

Right now if you make a change to a single file the patcher would only update that single file. Due to how Unity currently bundles assets, if you make a change to one prefab in scene 1, it will update the entire scene1.asset file. So instead of just allowing to patch just the 1kb change, it may be updating a larger .asset file instead. I am looking into other options to get around this restriction within Unity.
Hello, it should only require you checking the box for UseTransparentWindow and have Windows Aero enabled. No other adjustments should have to be changed. The camera color you will want to leave as the color that is in there or match it to the mask color from the ChromaShader.
In regards to the large downloads for resources.assets, you and all other users can manually build static asset files to avoid having unity bundle them up with frequently changing assets. That will ensure that your patches are always small.
A new user will only have to download the patcher, though it is recommended for brand new users you just have them download your entire game. You could have them download just the patcher and it would download the game from there instead though.
There are no patch files being created by the patcher. It is just feeding the client the files from the server that are different than the files that they have on their machine (or the files that are missing.)
in order to prevent Unity from just bundling up files separated by scenes. This will prevent unity from having larger patches than necessary, but requires a lot of work on your end to implement. It is not a very big deal if your game is not very large though.
Sorry about the delay in answering this question, the original email came in at a busy time. As mentioned before, Discord is a better place to reach out to me to get more immediate support as I check that daily.
Just had this problem today after a BIOS update. The update process changed the SATA mode from ACHI to IDE. This prevented Win7 to start. I tried to go in recovery mode or use the installation disk without any success.
"I first booted from the Windows 7 install disc to get to the system recovery console. I then selected Command Line. From there, I had to change from the X: drive to the C: drive by typing "C:". I then typed "cd\ windows\system32\config" to get to the registry file directory. By typing "dir" I could see that two of the five hive files (default, sam, security, software, and system) had recent copies with an "rmbak" extension: default.rmbak and software.rmbak. I then executed the following commands:
I would suggest you execute the "ren" then "copy" commands as above for any other hives that have "rmbak" backups with the same date/time stamp. This ensures your registry remains in sync. You can now reboot and see if your computer comes up.
Also, you might try rebooting with "Last Known Good Configuration". WHen rebooting, hit F8 to get the boot menu. On the Advanced menu choose "Last Known Good Configuration". As long as you haven't logged on since installing the patches (and since you can't boot, that seems to be a safe assumption in your case), Last Known Good should get you going.
A Windows patch management software is a solution that automates the Windows patching process in your enterprise network, from scanning and identifying the missing Windows patches to testing and deploying these updates to the required systems.
Windows patch management (or Windows patching process) involves updating and maintaining the Windows operating system and its related software applications to ensure security, stability and performance of Windows-based environment. Microsoft patch management encompasses the entire workflow, right from scanning and detecting the missing patches to downloading, testing & approving the patches and finally deploying them to the required systems in the network. With servers playing a critical role, Windows server patching is vital in bolstering the network security of your enterprise. Windows server patching is the process of installing and patching all the servers in your IT environment.
The Windows patch management process also includes generating reports of the deployment process for audits and compliance purposes. A well-organized Windows patch management strategy can significantly reduce the exposure to security risks and maintain a secure Windows-based environment. Using a patch management solution, the entire Windows patching process can be automated, so that admins don't need to go around to every computer and manually check whether all missing patches were identified and deployed. The Windows patch management software also generates reports for you to confirm if the Windows patches have been deployed properly.
Microsoft releases security updates for all of its products on the second Tuesday of every month known as the Patch Tuesday. With a plethora of patches being released this week, it can be crucial for admins to prioritize the patches and then deploy them to the systems.
Microsoft assigns severities for the patches released, based on how severe the vulnerabilities are. These can range from Critical to Low and Unrated in some cases. Before deploying the Windows patch, it is crucial to prioritize them based on the severity.
For example, Critical and High severity patches should be deployed urgently. Patches of lesser severity can then be prioritized based on the regular patching schedules.
