Sophos firewall is blocking windows updates.

I previously added a question regarding Sophos firewall blocking microsoft updates. I misspoke. The Sophos firewall is blocking windows updates NOT microsoft. Can anyone advise?

Do you use WSUS or download clients the updates directly?
We whitelist the wsus completely, because there are sometimes downloads from IP-URL so sophos blocks these.

We remote into the clients computers and run updates in windows 10 settings. Does that use ith IP-URL? If so, how can I prevent that from being blocked?
Sophos SG or XG?
Do you allow or block internet access for the users by default?
You can find the reason for locking some sites within Web-Filter or firewall-log.
First we need this reason. Possible category "ip addresses" is blocked, possible SSL-decryprion interrupt the updates.
The options for allowing updates differ depending on the cause and type of firewall (SG/XG)
 
It is Sophos XG. We allow internet access to the users by default.
