If you’re on a Patch All policy, know that now Skype, Notepad++ and RDP for Mac will now automatically be included. If you need to exclude any of those software titles for any reason, you can use a Patch All Except policy and exclude patches that way.



Note: if Skype or Notepad++ are in use at the time the patch policy attempts to install a patch, it will fail and attempt again next time the policy runs. This is to avoid interruption to Skype calls, or data loss from Notepad++ which doesn’t automatically save changes on exit (although there are settings you can change to make it do so: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24447786/notepad-doesnt-save-document-on-exit)

Because I am anal about such things. First bullet under Bug Fixes, your shift key got stuck on Windows. 🙂
