Hi,

I am trying to apply a specific .NET update using PSWindowsUpdate module. But in the pre-search it is not identifying the KB article that I am looking for

PS C:\Windows\system32> install-WindowsUpdate -AcceptAll -KBArticleID KB5010580 -AutoReboot -verbose
VERBOSE: hostname (5/18/2022 7:08:37 AM): Connecting to Windows Server Update Service (http://wsus.ourdomain.com:XXXX) server. Please wait...
VERBOSE: Found [0] Updates in pre search criteria

I can see in the KB notes it is available via WSUS. I can manually download and apply the same update, but why am I not able to do it via WSUS. I am not a windows Admin. So I am not clear on the troubleshooting path.

    Hi there,

    Run the command Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned to enable execute remote scripts on your computer. Now try importing the PSWindowsUpdate module again.

    Have a check if you have set the TLS properly.PowerShell Gallery TLS Support https://devblogs.microsoft.com/powershell/powershell-gallery-tls-support/

    You would also run Get-WUServiceManager to show the list of available update services and see if the update that you are trying is applicable to you.
