But you have to buy an enterprise license. This was much easier wth XP. A single Registry entry identiying the system as kiosk was enough to get updates. Personally I had a lot of probems with my one attempt to run an offline security update. Since then I just lock the gates. I don't want MS on any of my computers. And I don't use MS software like MS Office or Remote Desktop. I removed Edge. So there's not much in their updates that would be relevant. The only things I updated on XP were mostly functionality, like a TLS update. I think I got a wanncry patch. That was it, running XP SP3 to early 2024. (I moved to 10 only because browsers and some software were leaving XP behind.)
