How jeffbildz/ansible-role-patch-windows works
This is an Ansible role for updating Windows systems. The documented workflow applies the role to Windows hosts, uses Ansible’s win_update module to install updates, and includes retry support for older systems with many pending updates. The README also says the role reports installed updates. Source excerpts were unavailable, so task-file wiring and the reporting implementation cannot be confirmed.
