We recommend that you regularly patch, update, and secure the operating system and applications on your WorkSpaces. You can configure your WorkSpaces to be updated by WorkSpaces during a regular maintenance window or you can update them yourself. For more information, see [Maintenance in WorkSpaces Personal](workspace-maintenance.md).

For applications on your WorkSpaces, you can use any automatic update services provided or follow the recommendations for installing updates provided by the application vendor.
