Install hotfixes for an XProtect component on a single host

You can install hotfixes for one, some, or all XProtect components that run on a host. To install hotfixes on a single host, see Install hotfixes for an XProtect component on some or all hosts.

Before you install hotfixes on a host, verify that the agent is authorized for that action. See Authorize agents to install hotfixes on hosts.

To install hotfixes on a single host:

1. On the Updates tab, download the hotfixes for your XProtect components by selecting .

   If you have not downloaded any hotfixes for the components that run on a host, the host will appear as All up-to-date in the Hosts tab.

2. On the Hosts tab, select the check box before the host that runs the XProtect component on which you want to install a hotfix.

   To find a host quickly, you can search by host name, or filter the results by host status, component name, or component version.

3. In the Available Updates panel, select the check boxes next to the components on which you want to install a hotfix and select Update.

   When the process is complete, the components' status changes to Up-to-date and the status icon becomes green.

   If the hotfix requires a host restart, the host status icon becomes yellow. To complete the update, you must restart the host. You will not be able to install new hotfixes before restarting the host.
