New in version 2014.7.0.
Set windows updates to run by category. Default behavior is to install all updates that do not require user interaction to complete.
Optionally set category
to a category of your choice to only
install certain updates. Default is to set to install all available updates.
The following example will install all Security and Critical Updates, and download but not install standard updates.
updates:
win_update.installed:
- categories:
- 'Critical Updates'
- 'Security Updates'
win_update.downloaded:
- categories:
- 'Updates'
You can also specify a number of features about the update to have a fine grain approach to specific types of updates. These are the following features/states of updates available for configuring:
'UI' - User interaction required, skipped by default
'downloaded' - Already downloaded, skipped by default (downloading)
'present' - Present on computer, included by default (installing)
'installed' - Already installed, skipped by default
'reboot' - Reboot required, included by default
'hidden' - skip those updates that have been hidden.
'software' - Software updates, included by default
'driver' - driver updates, skipped by default
The following example installs all driver updates that don't require a reboot:
gryffindor:
win_update.installed:
- includes:
- driver: True
- software: False
- reboot: False
