What we can patch

Patching Guy keeps far more than Windows up to date. We patch your operating system and the everyday third-party apps attackers love to target — the ones most people forget to update. Here's a look at what's covered.

Every update is tested, malware-scanned and version-verified before it reaches your devices.
