Feature Upgrade (After previously using cached-mode)

[hilldav9]

I’m switching our batchpatch instance back to the default mode (non-cached, not offline)

I’m trying to see if a machine will get a feature upgrade from Batchpatch now. I’m running into an issue though.

The test machine can indeed see that a feature update is available (as optional) https://i.imgur.com/rOpYTbo.png

But when I run batchpatch against it, it says there are no applicable updates for the machine. Do I have something misconfigured?

The Windows Update control panel is listing that as an optional update, but in BatchPatch you are searching for only “Important” and “Recommended.” You would need to change the search to all “software updates” or possibly “optional software” in BatchPatch to see the feature update appear as available.

This link covers all of the reasons why there might be a discrepancy between what BatchPatch reports as available and what you see as available in the Windows Update control panel on a given computer:

This link covers how to install feature updates with BatchPatch. There are two methods. If having trouble with one, try the other:
