This week, we announced the release of Windows 10, version and Windows Server, version As you look to deploy these feature updates in your organization, I want to tell you about some changes we are making to the way Windows Server Update Services WSUS and System Center Configuration Manager download feature and quality updates.

In order to deploy feature and quality updates to devices running Windows 10, version or Windows Server, version and later , you will need to ensure that you are running the current branch of System Center Configuration Manager, which is version Note: Once you make this change, updates will be available for version and later versions of the Windows 10 and Windows Server operating systems.

Figure 1. Selecting Windows 10, version and later in Configuration Manager, version Figure 2. Selecting Windows Server, version and later in Configuration Manager, version If you are using Windows Server Update Services WSUS to deploy updates to devices running Windows 10, version or Windows Server, version and later , you will need to select a new product category to sync and download updates.

Figure 3. Figure 4. Will a new product category be created for each future release of Windows 10 or Windows Server? We plan to service future releases of Windows 10 and Windows Server with the Windows 10, version and later and Windows Server, version and later product categories. With Windows 10, version , we are introducing new product categories to enable future support for the Unified Update Platform UUP for on-premises management solutions, which provides improved delivery technologies for Windows updates.

A configuration change is, therefore, required for environments running the latest public release of Configuration Manager, as well as for environments using WSUS without Configuration Manager for updates.

Note: UUP for on-premises management solutions is not yet available. We will have future news regarding UUP, including a public preview, at a later date. I am using Configuration Manager, version Can I deploy updates to Windows 10, version or Windows Server, version ? In order to deploy updates to Windows 10, version or or Windows Server, version devices, Configuration Manager, version or later is required.

We recommend that you update to the current branch as soon as possible to ensure that your Windows 10, version devices receive the targeted quality updates. We plan to automatically add this new category to software update point SUP synchronization configurations and existing automatic deployment rules ADRs upon upgrade to the next version of Configuration Manager in environments in which Windows 10 updates are currently being synchronized.

For help with configuring and deploying updates for Windows 10, please see the following resources:. So, do i understand this right? Previously it was enough to just select Windows 10 without any other version or anything to get all past, current and future updates including feature updates if Upgrades category is selected.

This is still enough to get the feature update itself i already see it synced in my test WSUS box in Upgrades view. But after one upgrades machines to , future CU, Security and other updates will only be synced if Windows 10 and later branch is selected? I know you are reasoning this with UUP changes. But i wonder what other benefits it could have.

Say now, when general Windows 10 branch is selected, i get updates for all supported versions, though we only use the latest one. So i have to decline a lot of updates. Maybe in future we can avoid this by only selecting branches with versions we use? Or will we have to select the general Windows 10 branch anyway and thus will get all not relevant updates with it?

Yes, you can and i see it too , but i’m asking about the future. After you upgrade to version. I see, i thought you mistyped : Anyway, i think this also applies.

You should be able to see upgrade, but you won’t be able to sync new updates for version if you use SCCM. At least this is what i gather from this post. Oleg K Future versions of Windows 10 will not be listed individually. For now is because we are changing the way updates are delivered. But that change will stick on future versions, so there won’t be a need to list each one. For Server, we already list them all individually so this really isn’t a change in the way you select to receive updates for server, but the delivery of them is changed in Server as well.

So this should not be a problem. Support for Windows 10 in Configuration Manager has a matrix of which versions of Windows 10 you can use with which versions of ConfigMgr. Per Rae Goodhart , “It may or may not work – proceed at your own risk. We don’t support it nor test it on anything before , but we don’t block it either.

So, when I upgrade every single copy of Windows 10 in my environment to , can I deselect the “Windows 10” category and get rid of it wholly? I don’t see how my reply can be sarcastic. I’m just explaining why Windows 10 category still has to be selected.

Oh, maybe when Joe Lurie replied that future versions of Windows 10 will not requite separate categories, he actually meant that all future versions will use that new “Windows 10, and later” category. And maybe in that case older “Windows 10” category won’t be needed indeed if you have only or later versions in your network. I have all of this setup in WSUS and began testing on three computers.

Two of the three computers have identical hardware configs. It’s one of the two identical machines. Even when I check in with Microsoft updates, it still says there is nothing to install. What gives? This isn’t the first time the Servicing Stack has broken the Windows Recovery image – and there is no clear information as to why a repeat incident has occurred where components are uninstalled without reinstallation.

Yvette O’Meally The alternative was to stalk you on Twitter, and I’m lucky you bothered to reply and tag one of the Servicing Developers, so I could badger his twitter to make sure that the issue was known to resolve it as fast as possible. Dev and public have no access to those documents. I’ve even began to track the File changes for Servicing Stack KBs in an attempt to narrow down the cause for the issues above, but also because trying to fish for information for ADK issues is a mammoth task as information is spread across dev blogs, news releases and community pages for techbench and msdn.

You also didn’t mention if this error happens on all versions of Windows I tried to upgrade the to SAC Windows 10 enterprise edition, I download and install both feature and security update via “Windows update” directly, and then i use the update tool directly from below Microsoft URL, after a 30 mins, the SAC build number updated to ,.

I just wonder is above upgrade process is correct and expected, is there any easy or automatic way to do it? Actually, my key question is how we manage it in enterprise situation?

We are using WSUS Windows server – for distributing the update to that windows 10 computers. It was a few years ago and i was getting other error, but maybe it will help you.

I have upgraded some of my windows 10 to and now all cannot get updates from my wsus server. I can get offices updates from wsus but not windows updates. After i approve to my win 10 groups, wsus download the updates.

I’m not sure if you understand. We have it enabled and our PCs get updates for just fine. I also check this box as someone else on the internet say that is what they have to do also. Upgrades classification is needed to be able to get big feature updates themselves , , etc. It looks like your settings are correct. Although, you have products with drivers selected as well. I don’t think this should cause this problem, but i personally do not distribute drivers via WSUS and it has caused various problems in the past.

I have solve the issue. I change the gpo for wsus on the group to not configured. A little gotcha that tripped me up depending on your setup. If you are using SCCM and Automatic Deployment Rules for specific product updates to specific collections, be sure to add ‘Windows 10, version and later’ to the product filter or they won’t be pushed out.

If you just ‘shotgun’ everything out and let the computers figure it out, then it shouldn’t be needed. If under Servicing PLans you click on “all Windows 10 Updates” you can see the updates, however if you try to create a plan under SAC ring you only get to see updates to , nothing for If you select the apparently defunct SAC-T ring you can see the updates!

According to your experience, in case we have only windows 10 version in the environment , which one of the following category we have to choose:.
