Lol. I just run cmd as TrustedInstaller and type Code: sc stop WinDefend sc delete WinDefend del %systemroot%\System32\MsMpEng.exe /f /q
Weird enough, my test Windows 2022 require the same update for .NET Framework twice, once for Windows Server, version 1903 and later and another one for Azure Stack HCI. It is exactly the same update but it is presented as being different by having different update id. It is likely only to satisfy the Windows Update detection and not relevant to the functionality of the system.
I have installed the latest Windows Server 2022 "Preview", build 20348.51. When I go to the Settings - Windows Update, I do see that there are 2 policies configured on this device: - Download the updates and notify me when the updates are ready to install Source: Administrator Type: Group Policy - Set Automatic Update options Source: Administrator Type: Group Policy However, when I go to the Local Group Policies (gpedit.msc) and then look at the "All Settings", no group policy has been configured. How do I remove these group policies the Windows Update is telling me about?
Replying to myself. It seems there was a registry value set here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU Removing it, removed the "group policies" and the messages in Windows Update.
The clean way to do it is to actually set the relevant Group Policy to a value, Apply and then unset the same Group Policy. The Group Policy of interest is Configure Automatic Updates. The registry key orphaned from the equivalent Group Policy appears due to a utility named sconfig which you can launch from a Command Prompt Run As Administrator. That utility is meant to configure the Core versions of the server without a GUI, but it is functional in the GUI versions too.
When you install from the ISO which is available, you have the option to install without a GUI. That one is the SAC version or at least equivalent.
Does anyone here believe, that Windows Server 2022 build 20348 is going to be final? I've already put 20348.51 on my main desktop, and it's super stable
This is LTSC, would not the Core version be considered SAC for the build? Hard to say, you may be right because the LTSC builds seem to be disconnected now from the SAC builds.
He is right. LTSC without GUI isn't the same as SAC. You also won't be able to upgrade any previous SAC versions with the LTSC version (GUI or non GUI).
