2017-08 update for Windows 10 Anniversary Update ("1607") breaks WSUS - FIXED

windows 10, wsus

NOTE (Updated 30/08): Microsoft appear to have resolved this issue with a new update for WSUS as well, see here for details.

I previously blogged about how the 2017-08 update to Windows 10 ("1607" / Anniversary Update) broke WSUS (along with clearing out your update history.

Microsoft have now released KB4039396 which updates you to build 14393.1670 which claims to fix this issue with the note:

Addressed issue with WSUS update metadata processing that can cause some clients to time out with a 0x8024401c error.

They also note that this update does not restore your Update History, nor will it hide updates that have been un-hidden by the initial 2017-08 update.

About Rob

I've been interested in computing since the day my Dad purchased his first business PC (an Amstrad PC 1640 for anyone interested) which introduced me to MS-DOS batch programming and BASIC.

My skillset has matured somewhat since then, which you'll probably see from the posts here. You can read a bit more about me on the about page of the site, or check out some of the other posts on my areas of interest.

    Thanks for the pointer :)

    I'd already put a note at the top of the original post (http://robertwray.co.uk/blog/2017-08-update-for-windows-10-anniversary-update-1607-breaks-wsus) pointing to the updated package for Windows 10. I'll add a similar note to this one as well to help anyone else who lands here looking for the WSUS update.
