How to set Autofix attempt Times Before Giving Up

Description

When we use patch manager to deploy patch to client machines, we can set patch to be autofix. Autofix fails and does not attempt to repair again on client machines.

Cause

The autofix is set to attempt 1 times before giving up by default. The reason we limit the retries is to prevent reboot loops or blue screen loops. It's very rare, but I'd rather have a high retry count than an indefinite one.

Resolution

1. Right click the patch definition and select 'Autofix - Autofix settings...' to open Autofix tab. Set Autofix retry count.
   
2. Go to the Patch and Compliance to set the global autofix default settings
3. Click the 'Configure Settings' on menu and select 'Core settings...'
   
4. Set the autofix retry count.
