My guess is that these are Updates, not feature installs. So they might update your Edge install if you already had it, but won't install Edge if your PC does not. I don't see any other updates in WSUS right now, so we're all in the same boat.

Correct -- we just began publishing Edge updates to WSUS. They are only applicable to devices that already have the respective channel installed (Dev, Beta, Stable).

 

So for example, if you're using the latest ConfigMgr, you can deploy Edge natively from within ConfigMgr. After you do that, you can sync the Edge category from WSUS and deploy updates to these devices.

 

This doc has a walkthrough: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/configmgr/apps/deploy-use/deploy-edge

 

Thanks,

    Hello - are we now able to install and update the new edge using WSUS or it is still only the updates?

      Hi Pramiti Bhatnagar -- the Edge WSUS updates are updates only -- Edge needs to be deployed/installed in order for the updates to apply. You can use the deployment wizard in ConfigMgr (see ), or just push out an MSI from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/business/download, after which you can use the updates. There's also a nice video here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o90UsN6g6NE) that walks through Edge deployment options.

       

      Many thanks,

       

      Andy

        We don't use ConfigMgr and are able to start pushing out Edge installer MSI as a standard group policy software deployment but do you know if the installer will make it in to WSUS at some point and if so, any ideas on when seeing as Microsoft are now pushing out to consumer devices via Windows Update.

         

        Thanks for reading.

    I guess there will be a moment in the future when you’ll release also the update from Edge Legacy to Edge Chromium through WSUS.

    Any expected date for that moment?

    Thanks!

    azeiglerthank you, I installed manually on a client for now and try.

    Do we need to set up a specific GPO to point to wsus server for updates?

      After I manually installed edge, this morning i found a new edge update in WSUS and the computer report as needed.

      I configured only the policy "https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-update-policies#updatedefault" to updates disabled
