Microsoft Puts WSUS Driver Sync on Hold: User Feedback Saves the Day!
Microsoft postpones WSUS driver synchronization removal, giving IT admins time to breathe and talk to their printers again. Initially set for April 18, 2025, the change was delayed due to customer feedback on disconnected device scenarios. Microsoft plans to revise the timeline, so stay tuned for updates.
Hot Take:
Oh Microsoft, you tease! Just when we thought WSUS was headed to the great server farm in the sky, you’ve given it a stay of execution. It’s like the plot twist no one saw coming, except maybe those IT admins who didn’t switch to the cloud just yet. Kudos for listening to the people, Microsoft. Now, how about a reality show where you bring back other deprecated features? I’d totally watch that.
Key Points:
- Microsoft has indefinitely delayed the removal of driver synchronization in WSUS.
- The decision was based on customer feedback, particularly concerning disconnected device scenarios.
- Originally scheduled for removal on April 18, 2025, this plan has now been postponed.
- Microsoft had been encouraging users to switch to cloud-based driver services like Windows Autopatch and Azure Update Manager.
- WSUS, introduced as SUS two decades ago, was previously listed as a feature to be removed starting with Windows Server 2025.
