# How to check Windows update via device script

This article will show you how to check windows update for certain days via device script. We will use powershell script as below

```powershell
$LastUpdate = (Get-Hotfix | Sort InstalledOn -desc)[0].InstalledOn
$LastUpdate -gt (get-date).AddDays(-90)
```

You can change **(-90)** to any number you think is suitable for your use case. Start by uploading the PS script to **Device Claim Scripts**
