WSUS Edge Update detection not working on legacy Windows versions

My Windows 8.1 Professional clients don't seem to be offered Edge updates via my WSUS server starting with the last couple of updates, while Windows 10 Professional clients do get offered the update by the same WSUS server.  The same GPO applies to both, it just seems that within the last several updates to Edge, the detection stopped working for Windows 8.1 (and possibly Windows 7 as well, I don't have any legacy Windows 7 computers to test).  Not sure who to report this to but we use WSUS to manage Edge updates.

      broland Hi - Apologies for the delay!  I can discuss with the team and see if they have any insights.  

       

      Do you know when and what version the last MS Edge update was available for Windows 8.1?  This information might be helpful on our end to investigate.  Thanks!

        Kelly_Y I believe that for Stable, version 85.0.564.63 was the last one that the WSUS detection worked correctly only Windows 8.1.  I believe the Dev channel (and possible Beta, I'm not using that one) also stopped detecting via WSUS around the same time period (September 23rd-ish).  Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
