I have laptop users on Win10 Pro ver1607 and would like to upgrade them not to ver1703, then ver1709, etc - I'd like to upgrade them from Win10 ver1607 straight to ver1803 (or whatever is the latest supported, you understand my intent).

1. Is it possible to upgrade to the last version, or do I have to incrementally upgrade to each version in turn?
2. Can I use Powershell to upgrade to the version(s) instead of WSUS or Group Policy? WSUS has been problematic at best for this, and I don't care to keep using WSUS unless I absolutely have to. (Group Policy is problematic for remote users, and I don't care to discuss GPOs for this, please do not recommend/spend time discussing)
 
Thanks!

WSUS not working properly. Lots of wsus pool errors in the event log (5011, 5012, 5013, 5017 and 5038). Cant get the console to load. w3wp.exe and sqlservr.exe using all of the CPU. Is there anything I can try before I reinstall?

Regards,
Donna

A Windows 10 computer failed to successfully load Windows while installing Windows updates so I booted off of a Windows 10 installation USB drive, chose the "Repair" feature and then was able to perform a successful system restore to a previous point in time.

This Windows 10 computer now boots into Windows and works fine except that it is unable to install the latest Windows update (see the screenshot).

If I manually download then install this update then the update appears to install but after rebooting when I log back into Windows I either receive a message that the update didn't install of when I go back into the Windows updates I see that the same update still needs to be installed.

I have also performed the following steps attempting to resolve this issue but haven't yet been able to fix this issue:

1. Have run the Windows update troubleshooter (which always says that it has found and fixed issues but ultimately doesn't fix this issue).

2. Have run the SFC /scannow commands and then the DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Scanhealth and then the DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth commands

3. Have emptied the temporary and temporary internet files

4. Have run full scans for malware and viruses and no problems have been detected.

I have also rebooted several times and have tried installing the updates using different administrator accounts but this Windows update still won't install.

What else can be done to fix this issue so that I will…

Win10 1803 systems are not offered the 2018-05 Cumulative updates (KB4103721) when connected to WSUS (here: wsus on 2012 R2, but it should not even matter)

As https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/44fc841c-3e39-49c1-b1a0-a633c76e2796/win10-build-1803-clients-monthly-cumulative-update-not-offered-may-2018-kb4103721?forum=winserverwsus outlines, the new windows build refuses to work with WSUS (like it has happened before with server 2016 and Win10 1607).

Please reproduce and upvote the technet thread, so Microsoft becomes aware.
Points to anyone who takes the time to reproduce.

PS: 1709 Build 16299.402 (if you have it) is unable as well.

We are running WSUS server and the latest Win 10 update to come out, version 1803 is failing on just about every computer.
Not sure why this is occurring. Is there anyone else experiencing this and if so, how can we get this

I have been tasked with coming up with a solution to upgrade roughly 150 computers with the new Windows 10 Feature Update 1709.
I have downloaded the .ISO file, and have extracted it to launch the setup.exe file. Is there a switch(s) to use to push this out silently and without reboot? We are using ZENworks to push this out, but I'm stumped on the switches.
We do not want to use WSUS to push this out, as it would clog up our network due to the size of the update.

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Hi,

I have recently configured the Wsus server 2012 and applied the GPO to get all updates on servers on  our MS estate which consist over 200 Servers mostly Server 2012 but  few still on Server 2003 which I need to exclude  from this.  
I have created the custom update view for server 2012 and choose  only for  critical, security, and roll-up updates. But unfortunately non of the server is appearing in costume view. all server 2012 and 2003 are apearing under All computer--->Servers.
 Please  how I can  force only mention updates only on Server 2012 and exclude the Server 2003 to disappear from Servers under the All computers.
secondly how I can force to get Custom view updated and can apply in more refine way to push the updates.  

Please help.

Regards

Having difficulty getting WSUS to deliver the following Anniversary update to our Win10 Pro 1607 laptops - WSUS works normally for all other updates to these laptops:

Feature update to windows 10 pro version 1703 en-us

I have a new Server 2012 R2 WSUS server pushing updates via GPO - with the update approved and showing Install on status. Once the install begins, the Win10 Pro laptop shows "Downloading 0%...." for the update, then fails shortly after with Error 0x80244007.

i've looked online and added the MIME type .esx (application/octet-stream) at the WSUS IIS server level and it shows inherited at the WSUS administration website level as well. Tried removing/replacing SoftwareDistribution folder, ran MS Update troubleshooter, it still fails.

I've attached my GPO settings also in a WordPad file, and the resultant Windowsupdate.log is below for the laptop as well.

Please let me know what might help. Thanks!

Would like to replace my 2012R2 WSUS server with a 2016 standard WSUS only role.  My question is there any value in making this a downstream server to get all of the metadata?
I am having so many issues with the 2012 WSUS  that i just want to deploy a new 2016 WSUS and decommission the old 2012 WSUS.  My enviroment is 95% windows 10 Pro with some Windows 7 Pro  that are currently being replace.

any thoughts or best practices are welcome and thanks in advance

Thanks  Alain

I am unable to view WSUS reports on Windows Server 2016. When I try it gives me the error: The Microsoft Report Viewer 2012 Redistributable is required for this feature. Please close the console before installing this package.

So, I do that, and try to install the report viewer. Then I get the error: Setup is missing an installation prerequisite - Microsoft System CLR Types for SQL Server 2012.

So, I install those but even though they install I still can't get the Report Viewer to install.

I've seen many articles showing me where to go but they always make it seem like once I install the CLR package (As this one does: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/b58b0df6-11f1-44c9-80ef-068f59228c4b/problem-installing-report-viewer-2012-runtime-missing-clr-types?forum=sqlreportingservices)  I should be able to run the Report Viewer. And yet, it keeps saying it needs those CLR files.

I've tried the x64 and the x86 packages with no luck. I can't seem to get the system to recognize that I've downloaded what I'm looking for. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

after installing Office 2016 there are still loads of updates from WSUS, can I download a single cumulative update patch and slipstream it or similar into the Office install?

We’ve two identical 2012R2 networks updated from one WSUS.
Need to setup WU GPO’s, and just discovered that the WU are different,  see attachments - #2 has sub-folder "Defer WU":


Please help to understand what the problem is.
Thank U.
