Description

### Details

Research if we can automate the installation of security patches from Windows and create a package for it.

One option: go to https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx and search for `Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based`.

Question: Is this the same/better/worse than invoking a Windows update? Does anyone have any better idea?

Research direction

No repository files or tests are named. Start by comparing the Microsoft Update Catalog option for Windows 10 Version 22H2 x64 with invoking Windows Update, then document whether security-patch installation can be automated and whether a package can be created; completion requires a supported recommendation.
