Configuration Essentials for Windows Update in Windows 10



You can use Group Policy settings or mobile device management (MDM) to configure the behavior of Windows Update on your Windows 10 devices. You can configure the update detection frequency, select when updates are received, specify the update service location and more.


To use this setting in Group Policy, go to Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update\Specify Intranet Microsoft update service location. You must set two server name values: the server from which the Automatic Updates client detects and downloads updates, and the server to which updated workstations upload statistics. You can set both values to be the same server. An optional server name value can be specified to configure Windows Update Agent to download updates from an alternate download server instead of the intranet update service.




How To Configure Windows Update in Windows 10



The alternate download server configures the Windows Update Agent to download files from an alternative download server instead of the intranet update service.The option to download files with missing Urls allows content to be downloaded from the Alternate Download Server when there are no download Urls for files in the update metadata. This option should only be used when the intranet update service does not provide download Urls in the update metadata for files which are present on the alternate download server.


By enabling the Group Policy setting under Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows update\Remove access to use all Windows update features, administrators can disable the "Check for updates" option for users. Any background update scans, downloads and installations will continue to work as configured.


Even when Windows Update is configured to receive updates from an intranet update service, it will periodically retrieve information from the public Windows Update service to enable future connections to Windows Update, and other services like Microsoft Update, the Microsoft Store, or the Microsoft Store for Business.


Specifies the target group name or names that should be used to receive updates from an intranet Microsoft update service. This allows admins to configure device groups that will receive different updates from sources like WSUS or Configuration Manager.


This policy applies only when the intranet Microsoft update service the device is directed to is configured to support client-side targeting. If the "Specify intranet Microsoft update service location" policy is disabled or not configured, this policy has no effect.


To configure this setting in Group Policy, go to Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows update\Allow signed updates from an intranet Microsoft update service location.


If you enable this policy setting, Automatic Updates accepts updates received through an intranet Microsoft update service location, as specified by Specify Intranet Microsoft update service location, if they are signed by a certificate found in the "Trusted Publishers" certificate store of the local computer.If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, updates from an intranet Microsoft update service location must be signed by Microsoft.


To configure this setting in Group Policy, use Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows update\Do not include drivers with Windows Updates.Enable this policy to not include drivers with Windows quality updates.If you disable or do not configure this policy, Windows Update will include updates that have a Driver classification.


When Windows 11 clients are associated with an Azure AD tenant, the organization name appears in the Windows Update notifications. For instance, when you have a compliance deadline configured for Windows Update for Business, the user notification will display a message similar to Contoso requires important updates to be installed. The organization name will also display on the Windows Update page in the Settings for Windows 11.


When Windows Automatic Update is configured to check for updates, even if it is not configured to download or install them, it can cause slow deployments with Avast Business Patch Management available in the Business Hub.


Suppose an admin has decided to configure all updates to Require Update Approval by the administrator. Require Update Approval negates the need to use the pause or deferral settings since all updates are made available to devices only after being approved.


The following table details each Windows Update category, the granularity level supported for controlling update approvals, and an estimated frequency based on historical trending. Partial Approval Control does not mean that all updates within that category disregard the setting, just that there are some updates within this category that Microsoft can configure to override this setting. Frequency estimates are based on how frequently Microsoft has published updates recently and should not be interpreted to indicate how these are published in the future.


Access to assign updates from the Devices > Device Updates screen is available only from the top-level Organization Group. Where needed, a separate role can be configured with the following permissions to allow access:


Devices used for the initial testing must have SCCM software updates deactivated. This can be done in SCCM by creating a collection and adding the test devices to this collection. With the software updates deactivated, the WUfB profile can be pushed to the test devices and validated. These devices must also be excluded from receiving any GPO settings that control Windows Updates since conflict could arise if both MDM and GPO are configured to control updates. If needed, a sensor can be used to detect if MDM update controls have been applied and if so, remove the GPO settings.


In most instances, devices should pass the software prerequisites for the OS update since the newer versions of the applications will have Auto deployment method configured. In instances where the installation may have failed or when the application deployment method was set to On Demand, automation can be used to push the newer app to affected devices.


If Feature Updates are configured to require Admin Approval, then they will need to be approved after they have been successfully tested following standard testing practice. Devices that are eligible for the update will be tagged during the evaluation process, which will assign them to one of 16 Smart Groups based on their positive eligibility and the first character of the Device GUID.


Workspace ONE UEM integrates with Dell Client Command Suite to enhance the modern device management of Dell Enterprise client systems. With the integration of Dell Command Monitor, Workspace ONE UEM reports on custom system properties and reports and sets BIOS attributes. The integration with Dell Command Update allows for OEM updates to be configured and applied on the device, such as applying driver, firmware, and BIOS updates to the device. This exercise helps you to configure these integrations in the Workspace ONE UEM console. In this exercise, you upload and deploy the Dell Command Update app, configure the corresponding profile, and view the OEM Updates in the console. The steps are sequential and build upon one another, so make sure that you complete each step before going to the next step.


Integrating Workspace ONE UEM with Dell Client Command Suite enhances the information collected from enrolled devices, and allows you to configure device BIOS settings and to report on installed OEM updates. To watch a video demonstrating these features, click Dell Client Command Suite Integration with Workspace ONE UEM or click the video itself.


Profiles allow you to modify how the enrolled devices behave. This section helps you to configure an OEM Updates profile that you will verify applied to the device. When you push the OEM Updates profile to the device, this configures Dell Command Update with the respective settings and prevents the end-user from modifying the settings on their devices. Users can still run scans and apply updates; however, all of the settings are deactivated for modifications.

Users can still run scans and apply updates; however, all of the settings are disabled for modifications. In this section, you review the results of your integration on the device and in the console.


Few days ago a colleague on mine contacted me and asked if I can publish a post on setting up WSUS on Windows Server 2019. The company where he works uses only WSUS to deploy the updates to computers. So he was looking for a guide that can help him setup and configure WSUS from scratch.


So I decided to publish this guide that is exclusively for admins who wish to install and configure WSUS to manage updates in their setup. I will also cover some WSUS basics which answers basic questions and the importance of WSUS.


When you have a single WSUS server in your setup, the updates are downloaded directly from Microsoft Update. However if you install multiple WSUS server, you can configure WSUS server to act as an update source which is also known as an upstream server.


When you set up WSUS server, it is important that the server connects to Microsoft update to download updates. If there is a corporate firewall between WSUS and the Internet, you might have to configure that firewall to ensure WSUS can obtain updates.


In case you select Auto download and schedule the updates install, you get some options to limit updating frequency. If you have configured the settings, click Apply and OK.


hello everyone, i have created wsus server windows 2019. Now all i have set configuration including GPO also clients are showing my console i select 2 system and approve to install when i check from client side downloading is still pending from yesterday shown 0% only so to do the next step kindly help me 2ff7e9595c
