How to Scan and/or Repair against a custom group
Additional Information
Due to to possible BSOD issues that may occur when installing this update on system with out of date AV software, we will be adding a detection prerequisite as Windows Update does:
Key="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" Subkey="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\QualityCompat"
Value="cadca5fe-87d3-4b96-b7fb-a231484277cc"
Type="REG_DWORD”
If key does not exist you will be offered the detection only version of this patch.
This means that the associated patch for a system will not be remediated unless the Registry key is present. This mirrors how the patches are handled by Microsoft. Full details regarding the offering of the patch, and options if the Registry key is missing, are located in the Microsoft article here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4072699/important-information-regarding-the-windows-security-updates-released
An Example of the detection only definition being returned will contain "DETECT" in the definition name and under Patch Required it will say: No repair action specified There is also no patch information provided
An Example of the definition where the regkey is detected and you will be able to remediate
