# Use recent versions of Microsoft Applications
Use recent versions of Microsoft Applications: a Microsoft Zero Trust Assessment check, with its severity, effort and the product it is about.
Source: https://maester.dev/docs/tests/ZTA.21779
## Overview
Microsoft has not published a description of this check yet.
## Run it
The check runs as part of the whole assessment, with the ZeroTrustAssessment module installed:
```powershell
Install-Module ZeroTrustAssessment -Scope CurrentUser
Connect-Maester
Invoke-Maester -Pack ZTA -SkipBuiltIn
```
Leave out `-SkipBuiltIn` to run Maester's own checks in the same run.
