Question regarding declined update in WSUS
Hi everyone,
We use **WSUS** to control updates and **Group Policy** to control the installation schedule.
I recently approved **Windows 11 25H2** in WSUS, which caused the update to be downloaded to all client computers. The installation is scheduled via GPO for **January 20**. However, we’ve since decided to hold off on this update and have **declined it in WSUS**.
I’d like to confirm whether the upgrade will still install on January 20 or if declining it in WSUS will prevent the installation. I’ve searched online, but I’m finding conflicting answers—some say it will still install, while others say it won’t.
Can someone help clarify this?
Thanks in advance!
