Issues with Windows 10 to Windows 11 Migration via WSUS

Question

Hello,

I’m encountering an issue with the migration update from Windows 10 to Windows 11 through my WSUS server. When I attempt the update without using WSUS, it works as expected, but it fails when I try to deploy it via WSUS.

Here’s a summary of the current configuration:

• WSUS Communication: The client machines are properly communicating with the WSUS server.
• Synchronization: The updates are correctly synchronized, including both the product and classification selections.

Group Policy: The GPO pointing the clients to the WSUS server is applied and functioning as intended.

• Windows 11 Update: I’ve explicitly specified the update to Windows 11, including version 24H2. Update Permissions: Updates are allowed, and all necessary approvals are in place.

Despite all the configurations appearing correct, the migration process does not start via WSUS.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue, or can you suggest any troubleshooting steps I may have missed? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

It looks like you have introduced a dual scan scenario as those settings in your last screenshot are not those of WSUS, but those of WuFB.
