WSUS and Windows 11 Mult-session

AdamTyler-3590 275

These screenshots say it all. Our WSUS install thinks Windows 11 mult-session is Windows 10 and is advertising a bunch of Windows 10 specific 1809 feature updates. Any idea how we can fix this. WSUS is our Microsoft update solution.

WSUS server is running Windows Server 2019 Datacenter.

Make sure WSUS is fully updated.

Run the WSUS Server Cleanup Wizard to remove unnecessary updates and improve overall performance.

Review your Group Policy settings to ensure they're not forcing Windows 10 update behavior on Windows 11 machines.

Under Group Policy navigate to:

Computer configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Windows Update for Business > Select the target feature update version.

Set the target version to your desired Windows 11 version.

@S.Sengupta , Thanks for your reply.

Is there a WSUS specific update I should be looking for? Or simply run Windows Update on the server running WSUS.

As for the GPO suggestion here...

Computer configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Windows Update for Business > Select the target feature update version.

The are no options currently set in the "Windows Update for Business" subfolder of the Windows Update GPO. All settings are applied under the Windows Update folder only. This same approach is used when patching standard Windows 11 Enterprise machines (not mult-session), seems to work fine. See below screenshot from the same WSUS server for a regular Windows 11 box.

Hello，

There might be a few reasons why WSUS is incorrectly identifying Windows 11 Multisession as Windows 10. Here are some steps you can take to check the issue:

Update WSUS: Make sure you have the latest WSUS updates installed. Microsoft regularly releases updates which often contain important fixes and improvements. Your particular issue might be resolved in one of the latest patches.

Check Configuration and Group Policies: Make sure the configuration of your WSUS and group policies are set correctly. Incorrect settings can lead to undesired results like your current problem.

Review Client-Side Script: Consider running a client-side script on the affected machines to reset automatic updates.

Best Regards,

Hania Lian

Hi @Hania Lian , could you provide details on how to confirm our WSUS instance is up to date? Windows update is responsible for keeping this updated or is it some out of band update that needs to be applied? How is the current version/build identified and where is the latest build information posted online?

This is the current build we run, up to date? Running on Windows Server 2019 Datacenter.

Regards,
Adam Tyler

Use the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) administration console to view updates and filter them by approval or installation status.
