AWS might as well apply any Windows Update changes so that they deliver a fully-patched and secure instance, instead of an insecure image from a few months ago.

AWS might as well apply any Windows Update changes so that they deliver a fully-patched and secure instance, instead of an insecure image from a few months ago. It isn't just AWS, all Windows cloud servers seem to be delivered unpatched.

Also they ship a new Windows instance approximately every 3-4 weeks with the most recent updates merged in. They don't make a big enough thing of it but you can subscribe to update announcements.
