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 ...

Thank you. I'm pleased to say that the latest version of Edge - 86.0.622.48 - is now being detected as 'Needed' on Windows 10 endpoints on our network, where it is installed, by WSUS.

 

WSUS shows all versions of Edge after 85.0.564.63 as 'Not applicable' to Windows 7 endpoints, even though it (or superseding versions) are approved for installation, and it is installed on several Windows 7 endpoints on our network (we are still at the test and evaluation stage of our implementation of Edge).

Still not working on Windows 8.1 either.  Doesn't seem like it should be this difficult considering it did work at one time.

    Kelly_Y I did a resync and the latest Stable was detected and installed on Windows 8.1, thanks for that!

     

    I still do not see Beta/Dev channels detect updates.  Maybe I just need to give them more time?

    EDIT: Oops, apparently I should have checked the update history, Beta/Dev actually already downloaded and updated in the background.  So it appears to be working correctly now.  Thanks guys!

    Hi - Just to follow up, for anyone that was experiencing the issue a resync should pull down the updated detectoid and mitigate the issue.  If anyone is still reproducing the issue, please let us know!  

     

    Thanks!

    broland mdaehlmann Pepijn_Vermeersch jdseymour1978 - Hi Everyone!  Great news, our team was able to deploy a fix.  Edit: You should now be able to receive the MS Edge updates on downlevel Windows.   I'm double checking when you should be able to see the change. 

     

    Appreciate all the feedback as it really helped with our investigation!  If you continue to reproduce the issue, please let us know.  Thanks!
