Solution

• Change the Approval-Status to "Not Approved"

WSUS Dual Scan

Check Dual Scan Konfiguration

$WinUpdateSvc = New-Object -ComObject "Microsoft.Update.ServiceManager"
$WinUpdateSvc.Services | select Name, IsDefaultAUService

If Windows Update is True -> Dual Scan If Windows Server Update Service is True -> only WSUS/SUP
