Windows Updates

In ‘Tools > Settings > Windows Update’ you can modify the ‘Server Selection’ to be your WSUS (default/managed), ‘Windows Update,’ or ‘Microsoft Update.’ You can also adjust the actual search to include all software updates or just the important/recommended updates.

Thank you I will give that a try, for this to work do I need to disable WSUS being automatically set by GPO?

[doug]

No.

Thank you Doug.

I tried to do a Windows Updates – Download and Install Updates. It showed searching, then I changed the settings to what you recommended. Then I did a check for updates and received the following notification after I tried to Kill the search:

When you kill the search it will produce an error. That is expected/normal.
