I run a WSUS server on Win 2016. I am trying to import the new OOB
patches. However, when I click "Import Updates", which opens IE. But
it says I need to enable Active X and active scripting, and to import
the updates sites as "Trusted Sites". Yet, when I click on the Sites
button in "Trusted Sites", it is grayed out, and I can't click on
anything. And therefore I can't import anything.

I realize that's probably due to our IE settings pushed by GPO, but do
I really need to use IE, and not something modern to do the import?? I
have the files downloaded, can't I import them that way? It's a real
pain, to have to reconfigure my GPOs to allow just this one computer
access to the trusted sites ....

AH HA! Powershell to the rescue ...


A bit aggravating, but not too bad ...

$wsus.ImportUpdateFromCatalogSite('cc80b5f2-fdae-4643-b546-c6d0b172c0a7', 'E:\Temp\windows10.0-kb5010791-x64_466ad2172d2cc77b2125420c26b7f9ac00e197f4.msu')

recently had the problem myself:

using strong crypto and you should be able to do the import through
catalog again:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/core/plan-design/security/enable-tls-1-2-server#configure-for-strong-cryptography

Additionaly I think you have to change the protocol version on the
catalog site when opened from 1.20 to 1.80
