Patching help
Aug 11, 2015 5:35PM PDT

To make a long story short, I'm a helpdesk technician filling in for a system administrator. I've been tasked with patching a system and I don't know how. There's only a couple guys with IT experience and they aren't much help and my company doesn't seem to understand the severity of my claims. It's a windows 7 system and I have a list of 300 patches/STIGs that need to start being installed immediately. I must not be using the corrects terms because I find little online. I was told to go to the MS website and download them from there, but I don't understand what I'm actually looking for. Thanks for the help!

Odd to drag up such an old post.

As to your question, I type this into google and I'm not kidding.

KB123456 Manual install.

Change the KB number as need be and if there is a standalone patch you'll find it. It's that simple.
