BitLocker information for N-central & N-sight

Posted on February 12, 2026 by Arthur Hanlon

See more. Fix faster. Stay secure.

A new encryption status column added to Assets View provides at-a-glance insight into asset security and compliance

This encryption data is also available for saved views and dynamic tag rules, making it actionable across automation and policy workflows.

  • Data protection and compliance –Endpoint encryption is often the line between a contained event and a reportable breach. Many compliance frameworks mandate encryption, so clear visibility into encryption status is essential.
  • Faster troubleshooting –Encryption state can directly impact boot behaviour, OS updates, BIOS changes, and hardware replacements. Having this information immediately available upfront prevents wasted investigation cycles.
  • Incident response –Answer questions like “Was this device encrypted?” immediately, without leaving the UEM platform.
  • Policy enforcement – Information that can support audits by reliably reporting asset encryption status

Quick assets view refresh

We have introduced a subtle Assets View refresh button to reach out and grab an up-to-date picture of your managed estate.

As operations scale, automated processes increasingly act on managed assets. To support this, asset data and header widgets can be refreshed independently, eliminating the need for full page reloads and pulling only the data required.

Future enhancements will introduce automatic refreshing of specific datapoints within the main Assets View data grid such as online/offline status.This reduces unnecessary refresh activity and keeps focus on the datapoints that directly impact investigations and platform performance.

Patch Management Engine (PME) 2.13.12 – General Availability

Posted on February 11, 2026 by Júlio Barbas

This release addresses an issue identified following the 2.13.11 deployment where certain patches could appear incorrectly in the dashboard for some N-sight devices.

The issue affected patch visibility and manual interaction in the console but did not impact the underlying Patch Management Engine installation logic. Existing auto-approval rules continued to function as expected. This update restores normal patch visibility and interaction behavior.

Patch Management Engine (PME) 2.13.11 – General Availability

Posted on February 9, 2026 by Júlio Barbas

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)

Patch Management Engine (PME) 2.13.11 – Release Candidate

Posted on February 6, 2026 by Júlio Barbas

A new Release Candidate (RC) version of the Patch Management Engine is being made available to N-central assets configured to use the RC channel. This release focuses on improving patch applicability, supersedence accuracy, and Patch Status reliability, particularly for Windows 11 and newer Windows versions.

Improvements Included

  • Improved patch applicability detection for Windows 11: PME no longer relies on legacy detectoid logic for Windows 11 (24H2 and later). Instead, patch applicability is determined using the device’s current build number, reducing false positives and incorrect patch status reporting. (PMCM-11224)
  • Corrected supersedence handling between Feature Updates and Cumulative Updates: Prevents incorrect merging of supersedence data that could cause Feature Updates to incorrectly affect Cumulative Update visibility or status. (PMCM-11181)

Upcoming Public Preview: Patch Compliance report in N-central Analytics

Posted on February 2, 2026 by Ingrid Nylander

We’re excited to announce that a new Patch Compliance report will enter Public Preview in N-central Analytics the week of March 23rd.

Read on to learn more about the report itself and other related changes being released ahead of the Public Preview.

The new report

The new easily printable report helps you communicate your customers patch compliance by showing:

  • device compliance score
  • patch installation score
  • additional metrics supporting the scores
  • detailed info for individual devices and patches

Think of it as a combination of the Analytics patch dashboard and the Patch Status and Patch Detail reports from Report Manager or Online Reports.

When available, your feedback will help make the report the best it can be before it is officially considered GA! Keep an eye on our help articles for documentation as we enter Public Preview.

What else changing?

Before the Preview opens, we will be making some changes to ensure that Patch data across all of Analytics is consistent with the new patch report when it’s made available.

Look out for the following changes:

Removal of patch data in the Network Assessment report (week of February 16th)

This is to avoid conflicting information with the new report as the underlying data isn’t the same. We may reintroduce the patch section in the future, pending feedback on the new report.

Removal of patch data in the ESR dashboard (week of February 16th)

This is to avoid conflicting information with the new report as the underlying data isn’t the same. We will reintroduce the patch section as part of planned future improvements to the whole ESR.

Removal of DIM_PATCH_ANDR in Direct Data Access (week of February 23rd)

This is being done because DIM_PATCH_ANDR and DIM_PATCH are exact copies of each other and while we all love patch data in DDA, twin tables seems like overdoing it.

We encourage you to switch to DIM_PATCH in any of your DDA use as soon as possible to avoid any issues.

Renaming of the ‘Patch Compliance’ dashboard to ‘Patch Management’ (week of March 16)

This better reflects the story the dashboard tells, there are no other changes to the dashboard and the underlying data is the exact same as for the new report.

How to join Public Preview

You don’t need to do anything. The report becomes available automatically if you’re running at least N-central version 2024.6.

For the best experience, we recommend version 2025.3.1 or later.

Do I have to wait for Public Preview?

No! We are still accepting partners into the Limited Tech Preview and would love to have you. If you’re keen to get your hands on the report earlier, make sure you’re running at least 25.3.1. and reach out to support or your CSM who will help get you added.
