HOW-TO: Import Out of Band Updates to WSUS using Microsoft Edge Chromium IE Mode and PowerShell
----- I recommend using https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Import-WSUSUpdate Full instructions to install the module are located here - https://www.ajtek.ca/blog/the-new-way-t...
Good thought Eds1989. Could you be asked to check whether on your system the activeX for WU import is already installed, and try on a system where you never imported WSUS (e.g. Windows Server 2019 / 2022 with RSAT Windows Update Console and Edge).
Potentially the issue exists on machines which never imported any WU updates to WSUS.

So on my laptop from which I was testing, the ActiveX control was already installed.
I have just gone onto our management server, running Windows Server 2022, which has RSAT installed but has not previously had the WSUS ActiveX installed.
When clicking import updates, it takes me to the site and prompts me to install the control. I did so, and imported an update successfully.
I did get a couple of UAC prompts along the way, but otherwise no issue.
I checked, and this machine has the same Edge version 104.

I believe this could be done next occasion of a customer Patch Day. Will remember to leave feedback.- Hi Karl,
Did you need me to do any more tests or checks in my environment to compare?
Many thanks.
Eds - Thanks Eds for going the extra mile. It should be the same here with the customer. Also, Edge is the same release and the same OS version. Will check if there is quirk coming via GPO IE Policies and report back as soon, I have new findings.
