abbodi1406 released a gist to retrieve the update ID required for Microsoft PowerShell method.
if you find issues with his script, please contribute using github https://gist.github.com/abbodi1406/d061bb3ac22a015947414ef988053eef

 

Examples:

.\GetUpdateID.ps1 5028264 x64 Server

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.

$kb = Read-Host -Prompt "Nach welcher KB suchen?"
if($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
