Hi All, I’m trying to get notification popups working for all our Windows 10 devices but can’t seem to find the right settings. Currently we have the restart icon at the bottom right in the task bar which is useful... But we want to have a pop-up notification of a restart that appears onscreen so users will be notified in a more obvious way. I think the problem may be in the Advanced Windows Update Settings on all devices. This is grayed out and looks to be set to ‘Off’ but I cannot find where this setting is controlled. As these are all Hybrid Joined devices in Co-management I’ve checked through Group Policy and in our Update Rings policy and Windows Update Configuration Policy but I cant find where to enable this setting. Does anyone know where this setting is or has anyone managed to configure pop ups for restart notifications in Intune?16KViews0likes5CommentsLocation of Windows Updates download with ConfigMgr
Hi, we wanted to know, when Software Updates are being downloaded from an sccm Distribution point by an Sccm client, it used to download them in the ccmcache folder, but now it seems to download them in the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download Is that what is supposed to happen and if yes, is it documented anywhere? Thank you in advance and don't hesitate if you have any questionsSolved13KViews0likes1CommentManage Windows Updates From the Cloud Using Endpoint Manager

Hello everyone, I am experiencing a disruptive issue across a number of our Windows servers (ranging from Server 2012 to Server 2022). Despite a carefully managed WSUS implementation and GPO enforcement for Windows Updates, we have been facing an issue where several updates are getting automatically installed on these servers. The problem is, these updates are not ones we have explicitly approved, nor are they manually triggered for download/installation. The automatic reboots following these installations are causing significant service disruptions. Furthermore, the behavior seems to be somewhat random, which makes it even more challenging to root cause. Here is a summary of the GPO and WSUS configurations, and what I have verified so far: The GPO for Windows Updates is configured to '4 - Auto download and schedule the install'. The RSOP confirmed that there are no conflicting GPOs. WSUS is functioning correctly and the automatic approval of updates has been disabled. Dual Scan is not a factor as it's not relevant to the Windows Server versions we're using. It has been confirmed that the updates in question are indeed WSUS updates, but they haven’t been approved by us. The issue does not pertain to pre-downloaded update files or Service Stack Updates (SSUs). Given the above points, I am having a hard time figuring out why these updates are being installed and causing unplanned reboots. I would really appreciate it if anyone who has encountered a similar issue or anyone with insights could shed some light on this. Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Hello, I am encountering an issue where Feature Updates are not being applied to a group of 10 computers that I have assigned an Update Ring and Intune Feature & Quality Update policies to. The policies are correctly configured and Quality updates are being applied successfully without any issues. However, Feature Updates are not being installed on the target computers. To give you more context, I have created an Update Ring in Intune and assigned it to the 10 target computers for testing. The Update Ring is configured to receive both Feature and Quality Update policies. The policy settings are correctly configured as seen in the picture below: Feature Update Policy: To try and fix the issue, I have performed the following steps: Restarted the services: Bits, Windows Updates, Cryptography Service, Windows Installer, Microsoft Assistant Configured Windows Health Monitoring to Windows Updates Configured Telemetry Turned off Firewall & Proxy Ran SFC Scan & DISM Scan and Restore commands Renamed \ Deleted the folders SoftwareDistrubution and Cartoon2 Configured MDM Over GP Policy Turned off Safe Guard Ran the computer in Clean Boot while only Microsoft Services are on Disabled all Startup Applications Checked Registry configurations to ensure MDM policy is applied Ran the Windows Updates Troubleshooter. Removing GPO Policies that were applied to computers. Ran the following commands: net stop cryptSvc net stop bits net stop msiserver ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old net start wuauserv net start cryptSvc net start bits net start msiserver Furthermore, I have attempted to run the updates through the Windows Updates page and a KB file, but both methods resulted in errors with codes 0x80240437, 0x8019001, and 0x8024401C. I have consulted various troubleshooting websites but have not been able to find a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.3.5KViews0likes2CommentsWindows Update continues to Fail
I have 8 servers all running Server 2016 STandard. They all seem to be running fine and do Windows Updates with no issues, except on one of my servers that keeps failing on Windows Update KB4512517 2019-08 Cumulative Update for Windows Server 2016 for x64-based Systems. All my other servers ran this Update with no issues. This particular server has had no issues with any other WIndows Updates. Any thoughts? Thank you.3KViews0likes3Comments"Windows Update" settings page is missing and everything is greyed out.

On my Server 2016 machine, the cumulative updates won't install. Each month, a new cumulative update arrives, and if you click install it will go through all the steps but upon the restart...it fails and rolls back. Any idea why?1.6KViews0likes1CommentAutomated way to Stop and Start Scaling Scripts
We have scaling scripts that run for an AVD pool that takes the 15 VM pool down to 2 running VMs during off-peak hours. This scaling script runs every 15 minutes and will shut down anymore than 2 running VMs if not in use. We also have Azure Update Management setup for installing security updates / patches on the VMs in the Pool. This starts the VMs on Saturday nights at 11 PM and goes through the update process. An issue we are experiencing is that the scaling script is shutting down VMs in the pool before Windows Updates can be run and installed on the VMs. The VMs boot up at 11 PM, but most end up getting shut down within 15-30 minutes by scaling script and never even start the Windows Updates process. If you look in the logs for Update Management on the VMs, there is nothing listed as they shut down before they could start the process. The only VMs that run the process are the ones the script doesnt auto shutdown. What can I do to allow these VMs to be started at 11 PM on Saturday nights and run through Windows Updates before they are shut down again by scaling? Thank you1.6KViews0likes2Comments
