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?
Intune Autopatch Reports - Expected Behavior
I utilize the Intune Autopatch Reports for Quality Updates to monitor the deployment of updates across our environment. We currently have a group of devices which have a 30-day deferral period due to the compliance/testing policy we have to follow. My Understanding is that the "Quality Update Status" Report will determine if the device is Up-to-Date based on if the device has the update that has been released to it but I am finding that all devices are marked as Not Up-to-Date even with the 2026.05 QU installed as the 2026.06 QU is not available for the devices. I am wondering if this is expected behavior or if this changed because before the changes to the reports in May (2026.05) it was showing correctly Thanks!

KB5089573 installed automatically on a Lenovo system despite updates being paused and no preview updates enabled. After installation, the system jumped to build 26200.8524 and the network stack degraded severely. Heavy HTTPS sites (LinkedIn, Google Finance, YouTube) take 20–60 seconds to load across all browsers. Speedtest is normal, other devices on the same network are unaffected, and both Edge and Chrome show identical latency. DISM shows no package for KB5089573 and the update cannot be uninstalled. Looking for correlation data from other Lenovo users.
Windows Update took too long to finish
Hello. As of now I'm updating my PC and it's still not finish yet, it's stuck on the loading screen.

CrowdStrike has recently released the Secure Boot Lifecycle Management Content Pack. This new feature helps Falcon for IT module users manage Windows Secure Boot certificate updates ahead of these certificates’ expiration beginning in late June 2026. The dashboard provides an at‑a‑glance view of Secure Boot–enabled devices, showing which systems are already compliant with the updated 2023 Secure Boot certificate, which are in progress, and which are blocked or require opt‑in to a managed rollout. It also highlights certificate update failures that may require investigation. In addition, overall readiness is summarized through a compliance gauge, while a 30‑day trend shows how pass and fail counts change as remediation progresses. Filters by operating system, server edition, hostname, and update status help administrators quickly identify devices that need action to help ensure systems remain secure after the certificates expire. The feature also provides management options to opt devices into Microsoft's managed rollout for gradual, tested deployment, and to block updates on hardware with known compatibility issues to prevent boot failures. Note that this feature is available as part of CrowdStrike's Falcon for IT module. CrowdStrike Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) customers who are not licensed for this module can enable a free trial from the CrowdStrike Store. To learn more about this feature, please see the content pack tutorial video.The New Activation Portal Is Partly Broken But It Is a MAJOR Inconvenience For Me & Others.
I Run Windows 7 Ultimate x64 And I need to Activate Windows, I am used to the new aka.ms/aoh replacing the phone line. But I Have Activated Windows XP & Vista Without Any Problems Multiple Times, I Tested It Too, Tried 7, Starter, Home, Pro, Ultimate, Even x32 & x64. Though, No matter what, everything BUT Windows 7 Works. This Is Clearly a Server Sided Issue And I've Had This problem for the past months maybe even about a year. (The Product Key I Am Using Is Not Public on The Internet So It's Not Blocked/Used Publicly By Everyone, it is the same product key that came with the CD) And I Can Say For Certain This is a Server Sided Issue. Please Help. And Thank You For Your Time.
