Windows Update vs Microsoft Update for SharePoint updates
Hi, with the July KB that was pushed to a local VM dev server I went to voice to see if there are something I can vote on to not push SP updates to SharePoint servers. Found one but one of the comments by Stefan Gobner: Microsoft does not ship SharePoint fixes through Windows Update - only through Microsoft Update. If you switched from Windows Update to Microsoft Update you asked to get security fixes also for other products but Windows - including Security fixes for SharePoint. And you cannot expect Microsoft not to ship Security fixes for SharePoint. So to avoid getting security fixes through Windows update just switch back to Windows Update from Microsoft Update. I did not know that there are a Windows update and a Microsoft update. How do i set a SP2016 server to not Download/Install SP2016 updates? https://sharepoint.uservoice.com/forums/330318-sharepoint-administration/suggestions/11668782-stop-pushing-sharepoint-updates-via-windows-update I still think it should not auto update. Not if you are expected to run PSConfig afterwords... Thanks
