Windows 8 is unsupported as of January 2016 (per Microsoft). You need to upgrade to Win8.1 to receive Updates for your system. Thus support for Win8 was removed from our Update program.

Windows 8 Pro, 32-bit, is no longer supported.

But is this also true for Windows 8 Pro, 64-bit? Or is this the same as Windows Server 2012?

@hburmester
The support for w62-x64 wasn't removed from wsusou, but officially only the Server version is still supported. My version of wsusou for w62-x64 deleted updates as of Feb to May 2016, so I don't know, if wsusou still performs a complete update of Windows 8 x64.

Support for all Win8 versions ceased in 1/2016. I doubt you are able to install server updates into a desktop Win8 (despite having same core), likely blocked by OS string check by M$ installer.
