Windows 10 All Updates Offline Download

WindowsUpdate Agent (WUA) can be used to scan computers for security updates without connecting to Windows Update or to a Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server, which enables computers that are not connected to the Internet to be scanned for security updates.

The Wsusscn2.cab file is a cabinet file that is signed by Microsoft. This file contains info about security-related updates that are published by Microsoft. Computers that aren't connected to the Internet can be scanned to see whether these security-related updates are present or required. The Wsusscn2.cab file doesn't contain the security updates themselves so you must obtain and install any needed security-related updates through other means. New versions of the Wsusscn2.cab file are released periodically as security-related updates are released, removed, or revised on the Windows Update site. The latest Wsusscn2.cab file is available for download at the following location: Download Wsusscn2.cab

After you download the latest Wsusscn2.cab, the file can be provided to the AddScanPackageService method, and the WUA API can be used to search the offline computer for security updates. WUA validates that the Wsusscn2.cab is signed by a valid Microsoft certificate before running an offline scan.

When conducting offline scans of CAB files, you may experience higher than normal memory usage. It is recommended to make necessary adjustments to your system to allocate sufficient memory resources for the scanning process. This may include configuring additional processors and modifying the pagefile. Ensuring adequate memory allocation will help in completing the scan efficiently and effectively.

In accordance with our SHA-1 deprecation initiative, the Wsusscn2.cab file is no longer dual-signed using both SHA-1 and the SHA-2 suite of hash algorithms (specifically SHA-256). This file is now signed using only SHA-256. Administrators who verify digital signatures on this file should now expect only single SHA-256 signatures.

These scripts are intended to demonstrate the use of the Windows Update Agent APIs, and provide an example of how developers can use these APIs to solve problems. These scripts are not intended as production code, and the scripts are not supported by Microsoft (though the underlying Windows Update Agent APIs are supported).

So here is the context : I'm part of a company that has a normal network with a WSUS server and so on, but also a different network, not managed by IS, with no Internet access but where I need to update the systems.

Why don't you run a disconnected WSUS Server in your disconnected network and transfer from the Online WSUS server to the Offline WSUS server? This will capture all the updates as if the system was online and allow you to use Windows as a Service (WaaS) to upgrade your systems.

Otherwise, you'll have to download the media creation tool on your online network, run it and tell it to make the ISO file, transfer that ISO file to your offline network, and upgrade each system that way.

ok, that's what I get, however, you can't directly download the iso from there, you can just download a media creation tool which needs admin accounts to be able to do anything further.

Issue here is : we don't have any equipment where we have admin rights AND access to Internet. This is why I just want to download the ISO.

So previously, you could trick you browser saying you were on another system (Blackberry, whatever else) and Microsoft would redirect you to the direct download of the ISO. (Looks like it actually work again, I may have missed something last time).

Someone put in a lot of the legwork to get this out of VBS for you as well, so that should get you most the way there to create a solution for your unique environment. PowerShell script that uses WUA to do an offline scan of the local computer for missing updates GitHub

And not sure what you use to do patch management on your online systems, but check out Action1, the first 100 endpoints are fully featured, workstation or server, free forever, so you can try it no hassle and no limitations. If you determine you like it, we are running a promo right now where you can switch all your endpoints to Action1 for free and not pay until your current contract with any another patch management vendor expires, full details here. Switch to Action1 today and start using it for FREE Action1

I have a WSUS, are you talking about just deploying the image and letting the live OSE go to WSUS? Or can you get the offline WIM to go to WSUS, somehow? Because, that would be great, but I was trying to see if I could avoid having MDT do that step.

Alright, thank you all very much for your guidance on this. Here is the rough, hacky, partially effective script I came up with. It gets the updates from a reference computer using the windows update agent, then transforms the wsus http urls to unc paths and loops thru those 3 times. Needs a lot more refinement and testing, but I guess it is workable. Only takes about 10 - 15 minutes to run with my environment.

If for any reason a computer does not have a connection to the Internet or the connection is too slow to download several hundreds of megabytes every so often some kind of offline Windows Update is required.

In short, AutoPatcher combines the advantage of both Windows Update (presentation and description of updates and automated installation), and the special administrative updates (portability and installation without the need of an Internet connection).

Microsoft offers their Service Packs in standalone "administrator installer" formats (along with, as Lance mentioned, some of their hotfixes and patches). Download once, deploy via your preferred medium.

If you want something that will automatically grab updates from an Internet connected PC, try Windows Updates Downloader. It will grab all of the updates your system needs, so you can just take them to the PC and launch the installers.

You can then either install the updates, slipstream them to an existing Windows source, use them for network installations or on computer who are not connected to the internet. You can even collect them to store them for achival purposes.

If you contact Microsoft and explain the situation they may be willing to send you a disk with the latest service pack on it. They did this for me with Windows XP SP2 when I was in a place where I could not get an Internet connection. Of course, this probably won't work well on a regular basis but if you're in a standalone environment patches protecting you from Internet-based threats probably aren't high priority.

I work on an environment that is not capable of using automatic updates. Currently we Download a File from Microsoft that has every patch from the OS's release. This file is incredibly large and takes a long time to burn and transfer to update the system. Is this the best way to do this? Is there a way to only get the most recent from our last download? Our environment has Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 systems.

Consider adding a WSUS server to your environment. The WSUS server will connect to Microsoft update servers and download any approved updates, you can then approve what updates are installed on the clients centrally. You can leave automatic updates off and force the clients to update from the wsus server.

For those who seem surprised that a server could be offline and not able to download patches: There are plenty of installations out there which are not connected to the Internet. Think powergrid infrastructure, power plants themselves, many factory installations, ships, navy ships, anything critical which doesn't need to speak to the outside world really. I have clients with embedded windows systems which have never seen the internet... even once.

As to how to patch them, you could use wsus offline - - which is good for more recent OS's or there are a number of patching systems which can pull from a local repository. GFI certainly used to be able to do it, I would guess that shavlik and solarwinds can as well. The problem is, the patching machine scans the node to be patched, then downloads the patches locally and then pushes those patches out to the node. The local store is used as a cache.... but that node still needs access to MS to be able to pull down. I'd recommend trying the last 3 mentioned tools to see if they fit with your setup. If not, wsus offline is intended for patching new machines, but it works fine on partly patched boxes. Its an all or nothing process though.
