Hello,

I have used the below yaml file. The file is getting executing but the installation is not going on.

- hosts: win  
tasks:
- name: Return list of found updates and log to C:\WinUpdates.txt  
win\_updates:  
category\_names: SecurityUpdates  
state: searched  
log\_path: C:\WinUpdates.txt
- name: Install only particular updates based on the KB numbers  
win\_updates:  
category\_name:
- SecurityUpdates  
whitelist:
- KB2267602  
reboot: yes

The log file is showing skipping the update as it is not under category name but i have mentioned it.

Skipping update 74ff725c-04c6-4a3e-9654-66b38618413f - Security Intelligence Update for Microsoft Defender Antivirus - KB2267602 (Version 1.351.857.0) as it was not found in the category names filter

Can anyone help me on this
