Windows Update for Business

Hello all!

In light of the upcoming deprecation of WSUS, I have been looking into Windows Update for Business. We are a small shop (fewer than 20 computers) so I think moving to InTune would be overkill for our needs. Many of the articles I've read suggest using WUfB as a good alternative. Further, administering WUfB via GPO would be best. The instructions for group policy say to open the GP Console > Computer Config > Admin Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update and select WUfB. When I do this on my recently updated computer, there is no folder named Windows Update for Business. Why would this be? My computer is Win11, v 24H2.

    Hello.

    This could be due to several reasons:

    Version compatibility: although you are referring to the latest version of Windows 11, make sure that this version fully supports WUfB features and that all relevant updates are installed.

    Group Policy Administrative Template files: Make sure that your Group Policy Administrative Templates file (Administrative Templates) is up-to-date and contains definitions regarding Windows Update for Business. Sometimes these templates need to be obtained from the latest Windows 11 ADMX templates and updated to your system.

    Have a nice day.

    Best Regards,

    Hania
