    alternatively, to the script from abbodi1406 here is a different approach from Wolfgang Sommergut.

    It should be compatible with PowerShell 5 and 7, as out-gridview relies on the deprecated ISE and this might be manually removed already from Windows Server, I encourage to deploy PowerShell 7 on the WSUS Server and remove ISE.
    source: Import von Updates nach WSUS erfolgt nun mit PowerShell | WindowsPro

    $kb = Read-Host -Prompt "Nach welcher KB suchen?"
if($kb.Substring(0,2) -ine "kb"){
    $kb = "kb" + $kb
    }
$uc = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=$kb"

$uc.Links | where onClick -Like "*goToDetails*"|
foreach {$_.innerText + ";" + $_.id -replace '_link',''} |
ConvertFrom-Csv -Delimiter ";" -Header "Bezeichnung","ID"|
Out-GridView -PassThru | Format-List
