So the windows update setting in Registry is the following: UseWUServer - REG_DWORD - 0x00000001 (1) All I can see in the IIS on the WSUS is the following: Underneath Servers I have: Server name: SGA-05 IPv4 Address: 169.254.125.86,172.27.4.142 Manageability: Online - Performance counters not started Last Update: 27/07/2021 08:04:21 Windows Activation: Not activated Events: 0 Services: Server Name: SGA-05 Display Name: IIS Admin Service Service Name: IIS ADMIN Status: Running Start Type: Automatic SGA-05 World Wide Web Publishing Service W3SVC Running Automatic SGA-05 Application Host Helper Service AppHostSvc Running Automatic SGA-05 Windows Process Activation Service WAS Running Manual

Hey penfold! No luck on that one, approved update to a test group and still clients are detecting any udpates.

Thank you penfold! I'll give this a try and report back the results.

When I have a look at the option 'Update Files and Languages', the option for 'Store update files locally on this server' is selected and the option under that of 'Download update files to this server only when updates are approved'.

Thanks for sending this, very kind of you! - - - Updated - - - Currently using either Windows 20h2 or 21h2

So Administrators have full control whereas Users only have Read & Execute, List folder contents and Read.

That's where my problem lies haha! It seems as though the server and client machines are talking, which as you say is the good news. I just can't get the clients to download said updates from the server haha! Back to the drawing board I think!

Okay so for the PC I am testing this on, my following criteria is: Failed Count: 0 Needed Count: 2 Installed Count: 14 Not Applicable Count: 14,206 Hmmm, I'm quite glad that it is not just me that is stumped on this. Thanks for all your help!

Okay, so my option is ticked as Use the Update Services console?..

So in WSUS underneath those headings there is, (please let me know if these are appear wrong): Failed - Nothing Needed - Last Status: 22/07/2021 Installed - Nothing Again I feel that's not fully what you're asking for, so apologies if that is wrong. According to my network manager the firewall is operating as it should. I began to follow that guide but then found a set of YouTube videos documenting the process from scratch. Thanks for the CMD commands!!

Oh really? That would make sense why nothing happened then! Does usoclient do the same thing then?

I believe they were discovered through AD. Checking the Registry: WUServer = http://sga-05:8530 (SGA-05 is the WSUS) WUStatusServer = http://sga-05 Don't see an option for UpdateServiceURLAlternative, I just have the two mentioned above and (Default) with a value not set. We don't use a proxy server here, however, the default ports are set to 8530 and 80. Nothing happens when I run both those commands in CMD. Regards,

Yup, I see the computers in WSUS. I even set them in groups resembling the different buildings we have here.

Hi there, Thank you for your reply Koldov, That's right at the top I do see *some setting are managed by your organisation'. Yup, GPO has been pushed out to the clients so when i run rsop.msc and under 'Administrative Template' I have the following GPO's enabled: - Enabling Windows Update Power Management to automatically wake up the system to install scheduled updates - Configure Automatic Updates - Specify intranet Microsoft Update service location - No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic update installations - Re-prompt for restart with scheduled installations My GPO name is called WSUS. And well I tested to see if they were up-to-date by approving another update from the WSUS console, to see if the client would pick it up and it didn't?

Hi one and all,So after many weeks of trying to figure out this issue of why my Window 10 Clients are picking up the updates from my WSUS, I have had no further luck. I have created all the membership groups for my place of work, I can see the updates in the updates section of WSUS console, I can approve them and I can see them being downloaded where it starts xxxx mb of xxxx mb downloaded, yet when I click on Check for updates on my Win10 Client machines, it says I'm up to date.I'm really struggling on this one so any help whatsoever would be fantastic.Regards
