Microsoft Pulls the Plug on WSUS Driver Sync: Time to Embrace the Cloud!
Dearest IT admins, WSUS driver sync is taking its final bow on April 18! Microsoft urges you to embrace cloud solutions like Microsoft Intune and Windows Autopatch. On-prem fans, fear not — drivers live on in the Microsoft Update catalog! Time to update your update strategy, folks!
Hot Take:
Microsoft is giving WSUS the same treatment as an old smartphone—still usable, but definitely not the belle of the ball anymore. Like a parent gently nudging their millennial offspring to move out and get their own place, Microsoft is urging IT departments to leave the cozy confines of WSUS for the cloud-based pastures of Intune and Windows Autopatch. The message is clear: WSUS is going the way of the dinosaur, so it’s time to pack your bags and embrace the cloud. But don’t worry, it’s not a breakup; you’ll still be friends.
Key Points:
- WSUS driver synchronization is set to be deprecated on April 18, 2025.
- Microsoft recommends using cloud-based solutions like Windows Autopatch and Microsoft Intune for updates.
- On-premises drivers will be available on the Microsoft Update catalog but can’t be imported to WSUS.
- WSUS will still function, but no new features or investments will be made.
- Old faithful WSUS has been around since 2005, but it’s time to move to the cloud for the latest updates.
