Why would Microsoft delay the WSUS deployment of (chromium) edge updates?

MTG 1,206

Hi Microsoft.

As you might be aware of, edge has different deployment channels. As of today, you allow users to download edge 85.0.564.63.
However, WSUS is unable to deploy that at the same day and gets it only days later, leaving systems vulnerable.
Why is that?

Please confirm, that as of today, https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=edge%20stable shows Build 85.0.564.51 to be the latest available for WSUS import.

I hope that this is just an oversight which you will correct immediately.

Hi @MTG ,

The edge update released on the catalog is just for personal. Based on the safety, Microsoft test if the update is safe so that we could deploy the update to company by WSUS. Besides, the update has different deployment channels mentioned between catalog and WSUS. So we could get it only days later. Thanks for your understanding.

Hi.

No, I don't understand. If as you say, Microsoft "test if the update is safe", that would mean, for personal use, they don't assure safety. Or is that what you are trying to say?
Also, enterprises may decide to deploy the MSI version at any time, which is the same as the end user version and higher than the catalogue - why aren't those "edge for enterprise MSIs "tested for safety"? (sorry, just following your words).

[By the way, the updated version has made it to WSUS by now, but with previous versions, I have seen delays of more than a day.]

Hi,

Firstly, thank you very much for providing the feedback. As a support Engineer, we are also responsible for collection customer feedback of product itself and try the best to deliver it to the product team, in order to improve customer experience. Recently, we also receive a few similar threads talk about the same issue. Based on this, we have summarized this and tried to deliver it out. Unfortunately, up to now, we did not get any reply. Once there is any reply/comments, we will get back to you at the first time. Thank you for your kind understanding.

Thanks and regards,
Amanda

Hi,

Thank you for your patience, there has been no relevant reply recently.

While helping the customer solve problems, Microsoft also attaches great importance to the voice of users. It's recommended that we could use the following user voice link to submit our suggestion to let us see the bottom voice from our heart.

Uservoice, although said to be of great importance, will only have great importance if many people upvote that issue to be applicable to them. Will people do that? You never know. Since this is clearly a negligence, while at the same time very dangerous (admins are believing WSUS is kept current), this answer is dissatisfying.
I will use uservoice, but I doubt that will have any effect.

By the way, why should I use configuration manager uservoice while I don't use configuration manager? I use WSUS.
