I use ansible with win\_updates to install windows update.  
To get all updates installed I do multiple loops with a reboot in it  
I do set the contents in a register.  
But a reboot overwrites the register

How can I the register vars from multiple time to one var.  
The contents is a dic  
I tried something like this

my\_strings: “{{ my\_strings | default({‘key’:‘value’}) | combine(available\_updates.filtered\_updates, list\_merge=‘append’) }}”

But I have one result in it
