Is there a quick way to install Windows updates from device view?

Hey! Is there a way to directly install updates on a Windows device while viewing that specific device? I can see updates are available, but I don’t see an option to just apply them there. I’m looking for something quick without setting up anything extra.

How to push Windows configurations via scripts?

Hi everyone. I wanted to check if it’s possible to push Windows configurations using scripts through Hexnode. For example, we have a few workgroup PCs and we want to enforce settings like auto-lockout after invalid password attempts. Can this be done using a script?

Manual host-based hardening steps for unmanaged Windows 7/8 PCs?

Hello! We use Hexnode for all our modern endpoints, but we have a few Windows 7 machines running legacy industrial software. Because they are air-gapped and OS-incompatible, they are completely unmanaged. I know network isolation is step one, but what…

Does Hexnode save BitLocker recovery keys automatically or do I need to enable something?

We’ve enabled BitLocker on our Windows devices using Hexnode, and encryption seems to be working fine. Just wanted to check—does Hexnode automatically store the recovery key, or do we need to configure something for that?

Ability to choose color of device details on wallpapers

There is currently no option to change the font color for device details. Would it be possible to please allow for that to be something that we can change? The default red is too bright.
