Server Info (please complete the following information):

OS: Debian 12
Browser: Brave
RMM Version (as shown in top left of web UI): 1.1.0

Installation Method:

Standard
Standard with --insecure flag at install
Docker

Agent Info (please complete the following information):

Agent version (as shown in the 'Summary' tab of the agent from web UI): 2.9.0
Agent OS: Debian 12, MacOS Sequioa, Linux Mint 22.1 (but all Linux distros/MacOS versions)

Describe the bug
When going to the Debug tab in the Agent Panel for a MacOS or Linux device, there are logs claiming that the RMM is 'Installing Windows Updates'. I'm guessing that this is because these devices are under the same automation policy as Windows devices and the automation policy does have a patching profile, but I'd expect MacOS and Linux devices to be automatically 'excluded' from this.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Select a Linux or MacOS device
Click the Debug tab
See 'Installing Windows Updates' logs

Expected behavior
Wouldn't expect these to appear here. Would expect that the Linux and MacOS devices would be excluded from the Windows Patching Policy, even if they're under the same Automation Policy.
