Karl-WE It would be great if Microsoft replaced this old ActiveX technology with something newer!
On Microsoft Ignite 2021 Aria Carley held a great session about modern update management but also said loud and clear WSUS isn't going away. Yes the idea is nice but we all know WSUS is a frozen zone.
The session is a must-see for people involved with patchmanagement.

- I don't see WSUS going away for Servers either; I just want the ActiveX stuff in the Microsoft Catalog gone. Surely they can come up with another way to do these imports that doesn't rely on ActiveX. Even a small standalone Win32 app would be better.
- this would include to touch very legacy code - you can bet they won't touch it. The problem I see is that with the end of IE when it is really removed from the OS, WSUS would be dead.
