Microsoft has announced that it will be deprecating its Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), as part of their vision for simplified Windows management from the cloud. While this doesn’t impact home users, it affects enterprise environments that rely on WSUS for updates delivered to many devices.
WSUS allows administrators to manage their server updates, however, with Microsoft deprecating its update service and forcing users like you to switch to third-party alternatives, you risk encountering errors when trying to run the usual updates.
With the use of third-party alternatives, you also lose the usual support you’d come to expect from Microsoft, as you’re not directly using its product. As expected, many users aren’t happy with the changes and see it as a step backwards.

To ensure that nothing goes wrong as these changes are made, we highly recommend that any servers that you have that would be affected are correctly and efficiently backed up.
