This week, I wrote my long overdue Autopatch Revisted Part 2 article on Windows Autopatch and it’s a good one.

We look under the hood of Autopatch, log review, APIs, the technology behind it and the USO client. Hope everyone enjoys as it was really fun to work on.

Leveraging Log Analytics to Query Secure Boot Certificate Update Status
Microsoft doesn't have a way to query registry keys for your entire PC environment. This solution uses PowerShell and Log Analytics to solve that problem.
