Updating PowerShell5 via WSUS - possible and needed?
Good day,
not sure if its the right subforum. If not, please move.
I have a couple of 2016 servers in a domain where I handle updates via WSUS. On the WSUS, in the tab Products and Classifications, PowerShell - x64 is check marked but PowerShell Preview - x64 is not. I guess this refers to PowerShell 7 and it works on the servers on which PowerShell 7 is installed. But the PowerShell 5 versions are not updated via WSUS. The PSVersion on some servers show
PSVersion 5.1.14393.8062
which is not the most current. Is there a way to update PowerShell 5 via WSUS, how's the Product named in the tab Products and Classifications?
Is it possible to update PowerShell 5 via WSUS at all ?Is there a need to update it at all?
Best Regards
Windows PowerShell 5 is OS component, it get updated with Windows Cumulative Update
PowerShell 7 is independent product, and run side by side with PS 5, it doesn't replace it
