WSUS 2016 Server - Win10 Clients won't download approved updates

Question

Hi one and all,

So after many weeks of trying to figure out this issue of why my Window 10 Clients are picking up the updates from my WSUS, I have had no further luck. I have created all the membership groups for my place of work, I can see the updates in the updates section of the WSUS console, I can approve them and I can see them being downloaded where it starts xxxx Mb of xxxx mb downloaded, yet when I click on Check for updates on my Win10 Client machines, it says I'm up to date.

I'm really struggling on this one so any help whatsoever would be fantastic.

Regards

Answer 1

From an Administrative Command Prompt on an affected client, run the following:
gpresult /h gpo.htm
and share the result with your favourite method or pastebin it so that we can see it.

Verify the clients are actually reporting back to WSUS properly

Are you performing the proper WSUS maintenance including but not limited to running the Server Cleanup Wizard (SCW), declining superseded updates, running the SQL Indexing script, etc.?

@Matthew Merry
Please help to confirm whether all the clients have failed to detect the approved updates or not. Whether all the clients report to the WSUS server correctly or not?

Please refer to the below picture to confirm that the approved updates have been downloaded successfully:

Refer to this screenshot to confirm all the clients report correctly:

Please keep us in touch if there are any updates.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.
