Server 2016 - cleanmgr does not offer windows update cleanup
Experts, I am aware that not many here will even worry about freeing up a few GBs on their server - neither do I. It is rather simply a question to confirm my findings which seem to indicate an irregularity or bug in server 2016.
Look at https://www.questarter.com/q/why-windows-server-2016-shows-3-99-tb-for-windows-update-cleanup-in-disk-cleanup-2_1202419.html - there, a guy talks about his server 2016 and I assume the screenshots are from it. The screenshots show cleanmgr.exe which offers to clean up windows updates. For several of my server 2016 machines, this option is simply not available and i wonder why.
Can anyone here confirm this?

I changed the priority to "high", maybe that will attract others to kindly confirm it as well.

Hi Mahesh.
"I have not faced same issue" - so you have the possibility to clean up windows updates using cleanmgr on your servers 2016? Which build number do these servers have?

The servers are at client place and did not checked cleanmgr option.
We have found another issue related to ADFS which was not in earlier build version got invented into newer build

Needed confirmation. Only Qlemo seems to be willing to look at his server... thank you.
