Server 2016 Windows Update disabled?
I have Windows 2016 and 2019 Servers. All in in the same OU and getting the same Group Policy. This is confirmed via gpresult. I am using GP to disable Automatic Updates. This looks to be working in 2019: But with Server 2016, it says this: Should I expect these servers to update?
Windows Insider Program Issue
I was exploring the Windows Insider Program settings and noticed a channel called Canary. Out of curiosity, I switched to the Canary channel, which prompted an update. After completing the update and restarting my PC, I noticed some things seemed off, and certain features weren’t functioning properly. When I tried to switch back to the Dev or Beta channels, I realized I wasn’t allowed to change channels from Canary. I’d appreciate your help in resolving this issue without resetting my PC.Define Patch Approvals in WSUS but pull patches from Windows Update (Internet)
We currently use WSUS to distribute Microsoft patches and also use Solarwinds Patch Manager to push 3rd party patches into WSUS. This allows us to fully patch an endpoint with all MS and 3rd party software patches via Windows Update Agent/WSUS. We now have a fleet of laptops connected back to our Datacenter via a VPN and they are consuming a lot of bandwith during patching cycles. We have the following challanges: We do use some throttling on BITS/Delivery opitmization but have had mixed results We have MECM but don't use Cloud Management gatway as was deemed too expensive. we have not moved patching to MECM yet. If we use Windows Update for Business we cannot patch 3rd party updates and loose some control around pilot groups and reporting in our estimation Q:So is there a way for us to continue to define theapproved patches/metadatavia WSUS but have the system pull the patches files from theinternet(Windows Update) source? Perhaps this is possible with MECM?Windows 10 and reserved storage
First published on TECHNET on Jan 07, 2019 Reserving disk space to keep Windows 10 up to dateWindows Insiders: To enable this new feature now, please see the last section "Testing out Storage Reserve" and complete the questStarting with the next major update we’re making a few changes to how Windows 10 manages disk space.Throttle Downstream WSUS Update Pull from upstream
Is it possible to throttle the download of updates on a downstream WSUS server i.e. when it is pulling it's updates from an upstream WSUS server? We have some downstream WSUS servers on low bandwidth links and whilst we generally schedule the pull of updates during an out-of-hours window this is problematic for us for several reasons. I'd rather they pull during the day but with throttling. I’m aware the WSUS clients can do this in Windows 10 BITS etc. but wondering can the WSUS server do this on the synchronisation cycles.
Automatic installation of definition updates
Hi, we use a Windows 2022 environment with a WSUS server. I want to configure WSUS/GPOs in that way that defintion updates, which do not require a reboot will be installed automatically. The normal updates, even if they are permited by wsus, should only be installed when i start the installation at the specific computer/server. Is this/How is this possible? Greetings Jens

Windows Server 2025 Public Preview - Windows Update issue
Hi there, Is Windows Update expected to work with the Windows Server 2025 Public Preview from Microsoft's Evaluation Center? I deployed the 26100.1.240331-1435.ge_release_SERVER_EVAL_x64FRE_en-us.iso image but can't update through Windows Update. Similarly, the Windows Security app and Microsoft Edge browser won't update. I'm inquiring because post-installation, the Microsoft Evaluation Center advises updating Windows via Windows Updates. Thanks, AJ
Server 2022 KB5037782 Failed Error 8024200B, 8007000D
Greetings! Been trying to complete updates for May on my newly built Microsoft Windows Server 2022 that is offline. I installed the OS from the disk and I was able to install the latest updates from March 2024, and April 2024 but for some reason this specific update for May 2024 will not install. I have tried installing it from my WSUS server and even from the Actual update file from the Microsoft update catalog. I have also tried resetting the WindowsUpdate components and the CatRoot2 and the SoftwareDistribution folder but I still keep getting these errors. I am working on a second server install and I will see if I get the same error.
