We try to apply windows updates from Microsoft using WUA API.
When I mannually update( Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update ), I can download updates from Microsoft.

But Using WUA APIs, I cannot download updates from Microsoft, it is downloaded from Local WSUS.

APIs I used

  • IUpdateDownloader BeginDownload

settings as follows

  • [WSUS] WSUS Administration - Options - Update Files - Do not store updates locally; computers install updates from Microsoft Update.
  • [Client PC] GP > Do not connect to any Windows Update Internet locations. is DISABLED.

Are there any ways to download updates from Microsoft with WUA APIs?
