WSUS Updates over 1TB!!

[snagrat]

I've just setup WSUS on a server for Windows 10 clients and the update folder is about 1.1TB - is this correct?

 

I have all the Windows 10 options ticked in Products.

 

Is there a away to get this size reduced?

Mine's 148GB, but the only Win 10 product I have ticked is "Windows 10" (and "Windows 10 LTSB"). If you remove all the products you don't use that should bring the size down when you next run the cleanup wizard.

The windows 10 drivers category is likely to make a massive difference.

I'm looking at adding Windows 10 to our WSUS server in the near future as I'm testing it for deployment, but we're still using an old Server 2003 R2 box for (amongst other things) our WSUS. From what I can read it won't even work, but if it does I'll post with how much of a size increase just selecting the 'Windows 10' product adds.

I too ended up with a huge WSUS repo. I ended up flattening it, removing Win 10 drivers and making sure that Express Installation files were switched off (Options, Update files and languages) because: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc708456(v=ws.10).aspx

 

This turned a >1TB repo into a 240GB one.
