install security and quality updates at the same time

Hello

For work reasons, I set up a lot of virtual machines and you have to update them often, because of company policies we can not use WSUS or SCCM.

Is it possible with wsusoffline to install both security and quality updates at the same time?

Since now I install the security updates first and then connect to the Windows Update and install the quality ones.

Thanks

You don't need both rollups and security-only updates. You should decide which "branch" you want to go with beforehand, and stick to it.

If you tell WSUS Offline not to install the security-only updates it will install the rollups instead. Since the rollups contain the same security-related fixes as the security-only updates plus non-security related fixes, the security-only updates are not necessary. So, uncheck the sec-only setting in WSUS Offline and you're good.

Correct. The full CU Rollups are a strict superset of the Security-only packages. If you want everything, use full CU, not both.
