Because of the stateless nature of the solution, there are no updates for the OAW VM. For each milestone, a new version of the VM image file is released. Use the latest version to create a new OAW VM. The image file is based on the latest Windows Server 2019 version. After installation, you can apply updates, including any critical updates, using Windows Update.
