Windows Updates in SCCM - Updates for most products missing

Question

Windows Updates in SCCM - Updates for most products missing

Ed R 136

In SCCM Software Update Point, I have several products checked, including Windows 10, Server 2016, Server 2019. The mass of updates I was expecting to see, including anything for Windows 10, is still missing. I only see 270 updates, and any new updates are mostly defender updates. I recently added Server 2012 and 2012 R2, and many 2012 R2 updates finally appeared. I've been syncing Software Updates Regularly. Why am I not getting other product's updates?

Hi FranC365-7229,

Thanks for your posting on Q&A.

In order to research further for me, please help to provide a screenshot of the classifications in your environment.

In addition, it is recommended to check whether there are any error information in the wsyncmgr.log.

If there are any updates about this issue, please remember to inform me.

Thanks for your time and have a nice day.

Thank you for your response. Here's the screen:

So I've got a few different classifications checked, and I want surface updates in SCCM. I didn't want upgrades at this time, just windows updates.
Thoughts?

Hi FranC365-7229,

Thanks for your response.

I noticed that the last Synchronization time is 1/9/2021.

Perhaps we could try to sync again and check for the wsyncmgr.log. The log records the products、 classifications、 the new added updates and more information. If there are any error message, please share a screenshot on this forum.

Note that protect your personal information while provide the screenshot.

I set SCCM SUP to sync daily, and the syncs have been running regularly. I went back to check the products again, and somehow all the Windows 10 boxes were unchecked. I re-checked the ones I had checked, and ran another sync, and it synced about 70 new updates for Windows 10, mostly updates released 1/12 - patch Tuesday.

I still don't understand how to get the history of previous updates. Do I need to do something in the WSUS console? Is there a Windows 10 product I should have checked? Does "Remove obsolete updates..." have something to do with my issue?

Hi FranC365-7229,

It is a good idea to hear that the needed updates are added into the CM console. I'm not sure why the windows 10 boxes are unchecked. Perhaps some one in your team have changed the settings. Any way, it is OK and this issue has been resolved successfully.

For the how to get the history of previous updates question, it is recommended to refer to the below picture to configure:
Set the Supersedence Rules：

In my opinion, the WSUS Maintenance option is used to clean up the WSUS database automatically.

In my opinion, we could not get the previous updates back if these updates are cleaned. But we could deploy the latest updates for the clients. The security updates are cumulative in windows 10 and contain the previous updates. So there is no need to deploy the previous updates for the clients.

In addition, there is a link for your reference:

Hope the above will be helpful. Thanks for your time.

Rita
