Windows 10: Products and Classification selection for Windows 10 versions in WSUS

Sitaram Nayak · Jul 23, 2019

We are using WSUS to deploy MS critical and security patches to Windows machines in our environment. With Windows 10 we are having trouble getting patches from WSUS. I am not sure if I have missed any selection in products and classification. Can someone guide me the right selections so that Windows 10 Pro versions receive the monthly patches from WSUS?

We have mixed of Windows 10 Pro 1703, 1709, 1803, 1903 machines.

Currently I have selected below products.

Windows 10 and later drivers

Windows 10 and later upgrade & servicing drivers

Windows 10, version 1903 and later

Windows 10

Thanks & Regards

WSUS updates and defender definition updates problem with W10 LTBS 1607

Hello,

Environment

A number of windows 10 PRO are running and WSUS properly provides updates for them.

Recently a number of Dell 5070 WES clients with preinstalled W10 IOT (current version is W10 LTBS 1607 Enterprise edition) have been deployed.

Settings for WSUS

In products list:

In addition to other W10 editions selected W10, W10 LTBS and a number of other versions. I also selected Windows Defender.

In classification:

Selected Critical Updates, Definition Updates, Security Updates, Service Packs, Updates Rollups, Upgrades.

Definitions updates are set to be automatically approved.

W10 LTBS updates and definitions

WSUS recognizes Wyse 5070 devices as Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTBS but It does not show any current failed/needed updates for these devices Defender defenitions updates are not being deployed.

Online updates with Microsoft does work: patches/updates can be downloaded and installed and defender definitions are applied automatically.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

Open a new Explorer window.

Click View in the ribbon.

Click Options.

Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”

Click OK

Updating Windows 10 version 1903 using Configuration Manager or WSUS

This week, we announced the release of Windows 10, version 1903 and Windows Server, version 1903. As you look to deploy these feature updates in your organization, I want to tell you about some changes we are making to the way Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) and System Center Configuration Manager download feature and quality updates.

Deploying updates using System Center Configuration Manager

In order to deploy feature and quality updates to devices running Windows 10, version 1903 or Windows Server, version 1903 (and later), you will need to ensure that you are running the current branch of System Center Configuration Manager, which is version 1902. Then, in the Configuration Manager console, enable the Software Update point to download updates for Windows 10, version 1903 and later and/or Windows Server, version 1903 and later.

Note: Once you make this change, updates will be available for version 1903 and later versions of the Windows 10 and Windows Server operating systems.

Figure 2. Selecting Windows Server, version 1903 and later in Configuration Manager, version 1902.

Deploying updates using Windows Server Updates Services

If you are using Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) to deploy updates to devices running Windows 10, version 1903 or Windows Server, version 1903 (and later), you will need to select a new product category to sync and download updates. To make this change in WSUS, open the Update Services administrator console, select Options > Products and Classifications, and, in the Products tab, select Windows 10, version 1903 and later and/or Windows Server, version 1903 and later.

Note: Once you make this change, updates will be available for version 1903 and later versions of the Windows 10 and Windows Server operating systems.

Frequently asked questions

Why does this category need to be manually configured in Configuration Manager, version 1902 and WSUS?
With Windows 10, version 1903, we are introducing new product categories to enable future support for the Unified Update Platform (UUP) for on-premises management solutions, which provides improved delivery technologies for Windows updates. A configuration change is, therefore, required for environments running the latest public release of Configuration Manager, as well as for environments using WSUS (without Configuration Manager) for updates. (Note: UUP for on-premises management solutions is not yet available. We will have future news regarding UUP, including a public preview, at a later date.)

I am using Configuration Manager, version 1810. Can I deploy updates to Windows 10, version 1903 or Windows Server, version 1903?
No. In order to deploy updates to Windows 10, version 1903 or or Windows Server, version 1903 devices, Configuration Manager, version 1902 or later is required. We recommend that you update to the current branch as soon as possible to ensure that your Windows 10, version 1903 devices receive the targeted quality updates.

Will I have to select a new option each time Windows 10, Windows Server, or Configuration Manager is updated?
No. We plan to automatically add this new category to software update point (SUP) synchronization configurations and existing automatic deployment rules (ADRs) upon upgrade to the next version of Configuration Manager in environments in which Windows 10 updates are currently being synchronized.
