Patch Management Engine (PME) version 2.13.11 is now generally available. This release focuses on improving patch applicability accuracy, supersedence handling, and Patch Status reliability, particularly for Windows 11 and newer Windows versions.

Improvements Included

• Improved patch applicability detection for Windows 11: For Windows 11 (24H2 and later), PME no longer relies on legacy detectoid logic. Patch applicability is now determined using the device’s current build number, reducing false positives and improving accuracy in Patch Status reporting.
  This resolves cases where patches that were already installed could still appear as required on dashboards. (PMCM-11224)
• Corrected supersedence handling between Feature Updates and Cumulative Updates: Prevents incorrect merging of supersedence data that could cause Feature Updates to affect Cumulative Update visibility or status. (PMCM-11181)
• Improved handling of Windows Feature Update detection via Windows Update: Addresses cases where Windows Update may surface warnings when multiple Feature Update versions are detected, preventing unnecessary errors and reducing Patch Status noise.
  This resolves an issue where the error ‘[PME008] The license terms of one or more updates are unavailable’ could be raised on dashboards due to Windows Update detection behaviour. (PMCM-11009)
