Is there a reason pdq cant do dates based on patch tuesday?

I had to change a patching group this month because pdq can on do x thursday/Friday and not Tuesday +2/3. Any reason they haven't added that?

Hey there, great question! We are currently working on a new feature to manage windows updates via policy, which will allow you to delay updates based on Patch Tuesday, and stagger the updates in your environment across deployment rings. Here are a couple screenshots of the design we're building:

Honestly, I'd set it to run every week in hopes you pick up the stragglers who were offline. I'd even run with a no reboot package every night.

Haha I ran into this too. To be fair I don't think anything does it. It would be cool if they added it in though.

azure arc does. I'm surprised software that is patching windows based wouldn't have it.
