Security News > 2022 > September > Microsoft: Windows KB5017383 preview update added to WSUS by mistake
Microsoft says that KB5017383, this month's Windows preview update, has been accidentally listed in Windows Server Update Services and may lead to security update install problems in some managed environments.
Such updates are optional and available for manual importing via Windows Updates and the Microsoft Update Catalog to avoid pushing untested releases into production.
"IT administrators who utilize Windows Server Update Services might notice that the Windows September 2022 preview update, known as the 'C' release, is listed among the updates available from WSUS. This listing is an error," Microsoft said.
"The Windows September 2022 preview release is being removed from WSUS and we are working on a resolution to support customers who had imported updates via WSUS inadvertently. We estimate a solution will be available in the coming days."
"If this occurs, see the guidance for reinstating declined updates. Then run an update synchronization within Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, or update management environments," Microsoft said.
Luckily, as Redmond added, home users are unlikely to experience any update problems because of this issue since WSUS is commonly used by Windows admins to deploy Microsoft product updates in enterprise environments.
