Backslashes in the patch notification message.
My agents are seeing a backslash before every comma in the notification message. For example, it is configured:
Critical updates being installed. Do not reboot, shutdown, or close the laptop lid.
But it displays:
* Critical updates being installed. Do not reboot\, shutdown\, or close the laptop lid.
There's nothing in the documentation about needing to escape special characters. I can't be sure but I think this is new behavior. Anyone seeing the same in their environment?

I would recreate the schedule from scratch. Dont duplicate it, create a new one and see if you have the issue. Im assuming this is the notification on the install portion of patching. If these are Dell driver patches I would recommend you add the following: Be advised, you may see temporary screen flashes and black windows open and close during this process. This is normal, do not be concerned. Or something like that.
