I am running 5k Windows 10 IoT enterprise Thinclient at work with UWF + monthly patching via SCCM and having difficulties keeping up with security in an effective manner.
The time to perform monthly patching and WinSXS compact is taking much longer time than redeploy the OS. Is there a plan to improve this?

Thanks- 95twr
mrsagansay85 thanks for your question. Are you looking for an explanation of what IoT Security is?
- Definitely yes, pls
Thanks
95twr With UWF running at all times, I need to schedule a few hours per month with UWF turn off to install Windows update and perform component store cleanup after updates.
These are low powered devices with low and slow eMMC storage. Install of monthly 1Gb to 1.6 Gb cumulative updates from LTSC 1507/1607 + component store cleanup can take longer than re-image the device.
LTSC 1809 seems improve a bit yet this is far from efficient.
LilyHounull null Thanks for sharing the feedback. If possible, we’d like to clarify a few items to help us better understand the issue here.
- For the update process, are you mainly concerned about the update download taking most of the time or the update installation time? Or it is the overall end to end process taking long?
- Are you applying updates to these LTSC devices every month? Since you mentioned about UWF, assuming you are using UWF servicing mode as documented here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/customize/enterprise/service-uwf-protected-devices?
Would like to understand a bit more details of the issue you experienced and connect with you offline. Please message me if you would like to connect. Thanks.
