KBApS - Knowledge Base Approval System

About the System

This system was developed to assist companies in the approval and testing process of Windows updates (KBs - Knowledge Base). It automates the process of checking official Microsoft update catalog articles to identify potential known issues associated with specific updates.

Known issues are often documented in Microsoft articles, along with solutions or risk mitigation strategies for IT administrators. By quickly flagging KBs with known issues, the system empowers IT teams to make informed decisions, reducing risks and downtime during the update process.
