Windows Server 2016 - 2019-08 Updates
We configure our SCCM/WSUS to automatically approve the security and critical updates only every month and deploy at maintenance windows managed by SCCM.
this month (08-2019), noticed something strange, as Microsoft released two security updates first of August,
2019-08 Cumulative Update for Windows Server 2016 for x64-based Systems (KB4512517)
2019-08 Cumulative Update for Windows Server 2016 (1803) for x64-based Systems (KB4512501)
But when checked today for pending updates, I didn't find these updates waiting to install, and I noticed that Microsoft releases new updates superseded the above ones and classified as Update not under security and critical, and for sure it will not download by SCCM as per our configuration, the new updates are
2019-08 Cumulative Update for Windows Server 2016 (1803) for x64-based Systems (KB4512509)
2019-08 Cumulative Update for Windows Server 2016 for x64-based Systems (KB4512495)
More details:
https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=2019-08%20update%2Bwindows%20Server%202016
Can anyone helps me/ Explain why this could happen?
Can we consider these updates like security updates and approve it

In my case I configured ADR to exclude superseded update and I add "update" classification to ADR, at the end KB4512509 was available and the superseded updates were removed
ASKER
Yes, Abdul Jalil.
we already configure the ADR to exclude superseded update, this is why its disappeared once new updates release.
but why Microsoft change the classification.

thanks masnrock,
we configure SCCM it to install only security and critical updates, hence when checking for the missing update on the server, it's empty because critical and security updates marked as superseded and we exclude superseded updates from the download.
I want to say that they should have one update for Security and/or critical updates and anther one for all updates.
the security update should be superseded by another security update. ( from the same classification)
but like that, they force me to install non-critical and non-security updates.
hope you got my point
