I have a WSUS server on an isolated network. After copying the CAB file to the WSUSContent folder. I go to the All updates tab and click on the update that needs to be downloaded. Retry download and the file is deleted form the WSUSContent folder. Any suggestions, as to why the file keeps getting deleted? Thank you.

    Hello there,

    Check if you have multiple WSUS servers (Software Update Points in ConfigMgr) .

    WSUS will download updates' metadata into SUSDB, download update binary files into WSUS Content folder.

    When WSUS sync, it will only download the metadata, when we approve specific update, the update binary file will be downloaded into Content folder.

    You can use WSUSutil.exe to get the updates again.https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/security-updates/windowsupdateservices/18127395
