.Net Rollup July 2020 on Server 2019 Not detected by Defender ATP
Andrew_Allston What patching mechanism are you using? So first off back in May they announced that due to the pandemic they were pausing preview updates. Now that thing have settled down they are no longer pausing them. As long as you do not "check for updates" these won't be installed. If you are using a third party patching tool I would look to see what rules you are doing. Bottom line now that these preview updates are back in the mix, you need to be more aware of your patching rules.
SusanBradleyGeek Hi! I use Azure Automation for my servers updates and WUFB (Intune) for my Windows 10 Clients. Both sets of devices installed this round of preview patches, and going back the whole history available to me, none of these devices installed preview patches automatically in the past. And in an interesting turn of events, ATP now detects the patches correctly but the servers that I manually uninstalled the patches from started to report incorrectly that ASR and other security measures were disabled. After reinstalling the patches ATP reports everything correctly again.
Andrew_Allston https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-it-pro-blog/resuming-optional-windows-10-and-windows-server-non-security/ba-p/1471429 They recently turned them back on. (and I said they paused in May - it was actually March) so if your patching processes came online during that time, it's probably why you didn't get them before.
