Windows 10: Windows Updates and Proxy Override

I have a user account that signs in to multiple computers. I have internet blocked for that user via group policy. However, I need windows updates to run. I have tried adding the update sites to proxy override with no success. I know WSUS is an option but making that change needs to go up the ladder. I'd like to get it working this way for now. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Proxy Server?

When I was in high school, I used this website. It is a website that lists working proxies, updated daily. If you choose the right ones, you can actually successfully watch youtube videos through the proxy!

windows update on a proxy server

Hi Tanmay,

I would suggest you to run the Windows update troubleshooter and check.

1) In the search tab type 'Troubleshooter' and hit enter.

2) Click on view all.

3) Click on Windows update and follow the onscreen instructions

Please follow the steps below and check if the issue can be fixed.

1. Press Windows Key + R combination and put
inetcpl.cpl and hit Enter to open Internet Properties.

2. In the Internet Properties, switch to Connections tab, here click the
LAN Settings.

Moving on, in the Proxy server section, click on Advanced.

Now in the Proxy Settings window, for the Exceptions section, input the following entries using comma:

• login.live.com

• account.live.com

• clientconfig.passport.net

• wustat.windows.com

• *.windowsupdate.com

• *.wns.windows.com

• *.hotmail.com

• *.outlook.com

• *.microsoft.com

• *.msftncsi.com/ncsi.txt

Click OK. Close the Internet Properties settings window.

Now, run Netsh winhttp import proxy source=ie command in the
administrative Command Prompt to export the settings you’ve configured, to work for
Windows Update as well.

Reboot the machine when you’re done to make changes effective.
