In-console updates FAQ

Why don't I see certain updates in my console?

If you can't find a specific update in your console after a successful sync with the Microsoft cloud service, this behavior might be because of one of the following reasons:

  • The update requires a configuration that your infrastructure doesn't use, or your current product version doesn't fulfill a prerequisite for receiving the update.

    If you think you have the required configurations and prerequisites for a missing update, confirm the service connection point is in online mode. Then, use the Check for Updates option in the Updates and Servicing node to force a check. If your service connection point is in offline mode, use the service connection tool to manually sync with the cloud service.

  • Your account lacks the correct role-based administration permissions to view updates in the Configuration Manager console. For more information, see Permissions to manage updates.

Why did the current branch name change with version 2103?
