Recommended Updates

Postby Progman » 28.10.2013, 04:41

I want to start a topic thoroughly covering this issue with the following questions:

If the recommended updates are not listed in the WSUS cab then where does WSUS get them from, and is there a WSUS API interface to get them?

Microsoft is now providing superseded update cleanup for Windows 7/8/8.1 in the disk cleanup wizard which seems to be dynamically computing the used files in each update package to make the determination. Is this the only way to determine superseded updates and is there any API interface to this cleanup or any other means of determining superseded recomended updates?

The same questions could be asked about driver updates as well though the answers would probably be the same.

Thanks!

WSUSOU ignores non-security-critical updates. A select few are statically defined.
Microsoft update catalog: http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/
Windows Install media download: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/15088/windows-create-installation-media
