Can you show the output of vagrant box list to show which box version and hypervisor you are trying?

[Paqi]

$ vagrant box list
StefanScherer/windows_2016 (vmware_desktop, 2017.12.14)

[StefanScherer]

The latest version of https://app.vagrantup.com/StefanScherer/boxes/windows_2016 is v2018.08.15 so I assume the Windows updates are installed in that version. I can't check at the moment.
Today is Patch Tuesday so as the latest Docker images are pushed to Docker Hub I'll re-run the packer-builder tomorrow and update these boxes.

In the meantime or for the future you can run vagrant box update to download the latest version from Vagrant Cloud. But after that you have to destroy your box with vagrant destroy and spin it up again with vagrant up.

Apologies, I thought I was starting from scratch, but maybe there was an existing instance that was being reused. I'll destroy and spin it up again to see if this is still an issue, and report back.

[StefanScherer]

Never mind. Sure, please report back how it goes.

[StefanScherer]

Oh, another useful command vagrant box prune to remove old unused box versions. I did that all manually in the past ;-)

[Paqi]

Yup, verifying the latest version already has these updates.

I had thought vagrant destroy would eliminate everything, but the box still existed. vagrant box prune didn't work, I'm assuming because the old box version was the only one listed. I had to directly remove it using vagrant box remove. Good to know for the future.

Thanks for the quick response, closing this issue!
