        If you’re asking how to get to that screen, System Patches is an optional package.
        https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/development/system-patches.html

        To upgrade, select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings. When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, CPU, and/or disk speed.
        Only install packages for your version of pfSense.

          @SteveITS Anyway we can make this package as part of the base similar to openvpn for example. System patches shouldn’t be an optional install.

          Firewall: NetGate,Palo Alto-VM,Juniper SRX
          Routing: Juniper, Arista, Cisco
          Switching: Juniper, Arista, Cisco
          Wireless: Unifi, Aruba IAP
          JNCIP,CCNP Enterprise

            @michmoor I would guess Netgate doesn’t want to/can’t because the patches are updated via a package update. If they made it part of the base it would need another list update mechanism or a pfSense version update to add patches.

            To upgrade, select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings. When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, CPU, and/or disk speed.
