Using WSUSoffline to update WIN 8.1
A freshly installed Win 8.1 with UPdate. Used WSUS to download and install updates. Downloaded about 211 files, and installed about 100 updates. Windows Update still found about 100 updates not yet installed. What am I missing here? DotNet 4.6.2? But I do not need it. -- @~@ Remain silent! Drink, Blink, Stretch!

And one reason for a large number of Optional ones, is at least some of them appear to be intended for Windows Server 2012. Yet, they're listed on a Windows 8.1 machine. Paul |

Yesterday, it started to repeat installing KB2919355, which is a 800M update. Win 8.1 With Update ISO should have it installed. Weird... The updates not listed by WSUS' UpdateInstaller.exe are important and security updates. Really weird... Maybe WSUS was confused by the 4-5 Update Rollups I installed manually earlier. And one reason for a large number of Optional ones, is at least some of them appear to be intended for Windows Server 2012. Yet, they're listed on a Windows 8.1 machine. I see. Well, I gave up and used Miccro$oft update that night. It's not slow after you installed the 4..5 recent Update Rollup. -- @~@ Remain silent! Drink, Blink, Stretch!

Should I? http://www.wsusoffline.net/ Look at it this way, you can choose NOT to run a copy of that and collect updates for a rainy day, and then have NO clean updates if you need to reinstall the OS. That's your choice, of course. Once the Cumulative Update system is in place, we might have very few choices concerning patching up fresh installs of the OS. That's why I keep these handy. It's an option if there ARE no other options. If Microsoft would leave Windows Update alone, I wouldn't NEED to "wear both a belt and suspenders"! But suspenders look cool, and a belt is a structurally sound device for holding your pants up. Paul |

Try a search term like "Windows 7" and if 500 things are returned by the Catalot server, download all of them. Paul |
