Win10 v1709 “Preview Builds/Feature Updates deferral” Group Policy blocks Security Updates

Posted on November 20, 2017 at 11:22 CST by PKCano • Comment in the Forums

This came in from Klaasklever

FYI:

The Win 10 v1709 “Select when Preview Builds and Feature Updates are received”
Group Policy (located under Computer Config –> Admin Templates –>
Windows Components –> Windows Update –> Windows Update for Business)
incorrectly blocks all Cumulative Security Updates.

If enabled and set to anything greater than 0 days, not only feature updates
(i.e. upgrades to a new semi-annual Windows Version) are blocked,
but all cumulative security updates are wrongly blocked as well!

This might cause some headaches for admins…

See my following post on Technet:
