This didn't work for me.

I am using a Windows 11 client machine with RSAT installed and Server 2022 WSUS box.

We have enabled IE mode via group policy, and have added the catalogue URL to the IE site mode list XML file we have stored centrally (not the full URL, but just the base www.catalog.update.microsoft.com)

I can see when clicking "Import Updates", the site is opened in IE mode. I have set the "Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode" option to allow and restarted my browser.

I had already browsed to the site and installed the ActiveX control, but when going to my update basket, I still get an error about version compatibility:

"This update cannot be imported into Windows Server Update Services, because it is not compatible with your version of WSUS"

Any ideas?

Thanks
