That part says "Keep the system up-to-date (Windows update): download and install all patches.". But Windows Update doesn't update any applications for third parties and not even all Microsoft applications. So the recommendations for individuals are problematic as described. Only the section for "admins (businesses, organizations)" mentioning "e.g. Windows Server" mentions application updates.

erf, that's what I mean by "download and install all patches," but I'll try to write that better if it's confusing.
I'd suggest something like "Keep the system and applications up to date. Install all patches from Windows Update immediately and preferrably automatically. Use applications' automatic updates or package managers such as chocolatey.
