I have not tried the list yet, cannot tell. Thanks for adding this to the discussion. Makes sense to make it this way as the setting in the guide will be removed after a time. I noticed that later in the description it is not permanent per user.

My guide was helpful until it lasted valid. Anyone else seeing the issue that ActiveX can no longer be installed in IE Mode, thus the import of updates cannot be executed?
- abbodi1406Aug 26, 2022Iron ContributorYes, it's stopped working since late July
the whole /v7/site/ no longer works, and auto redirected to NonActiveX url- AnonymousAug 29, 2022
Hi abbodi1406 I cannot confirm, here it still uses the site and unsuccessfully tries to install ActiveX plugin.
Yet, if the behavior changes to what you see Abbodi, how should one import updates to WSUS? I do not believe it will work any longer, does it?

kwester-ebbinghaus-business I've not had need to import anything for a while.
What update are you trying to import, and I'll use that as a test, as well as picking some other random update to try and import.Cheers

- AnonymousAug 29, 2022Hi James, this customer failed to import .net 4.8 for Windows Server. In addition, out of band update needs to be imported if a customer requires to fix a certain issue the OOB is going to fix.
Albeit obsolete you might want to try KB5016138 or these:

We have tried to import the .net 4.8 for Windows Server 2016.- Eds1989Aug 30, 2022Brass ContributorJust as a test, I picked a Windows 7 update (KB4533005), which imported ok.
Also tried KB5016138 and KB4486153, and they also imported ok.
Perhaps you guys have Windows or Edge updates installed that I do not yet, which have introduced the issue?
