Sorry I have already returned that machine back to its owner.
I will have to get the log for the next machine I perform a factory restore on if it behaves as the last few did.
BTW, I do this for a living and have since ~1992 when I started my business "The Computer Guys" here in BG, KY
However, I can answer some of the Questions tho.
No the computer was not already online. It and all other CPU's I do were just factory restored w/ no save.
ie. back to the "out of the box" state...
Next,,, All Bloatware and Trial AV's are then uninstalled & a reboot performed.
WSUS's zip file was then placed on desktop and then extracted.
Windows Update set to Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them &
I also uncheck Give me Recommended updates the same way I receive important updates.
Especially now due to Windows 10 & Crap Telemetry Updates Being slipped in as Recommended and Optional's
Power Mgmt set to Never Sleep! <<During the WSUS & all other updating processes>>
Ethernet Cable then and only then connected! I will note WU doesn't really get time to perform a check.
At this point I begin using your WSUS as described in the previous post...
As soon as WSUS builds it client folder for me I unplug from the Inet and check WU to see is still inactive.
Next I let WSUS perform it Update process including its reboot(s). "I always let WSUS Run as Administrator"
And yes I rebooted the computer 1 or more times afterwards trying to see if WU would then
change to show just a few updates as it has in the past, when we were happy with its behavior.
It does not. I then try clicking "Check for Updates" and after a lengthy time it comes back with still needing
essentially all updates... Again as if I had never used WSUS in the first place. Weird Huh?
And to restate. WSUS appears to complete with no apparent errors. Running thru 1 of 200+, counting them off as expected.
Side note: WU finds ~176 or more,,,,,, while, WSUS seems to always process numbers into the 200's wether it actually uses 200+ Why the difference, idk?
