Microsoft has resolved a known issue preventing managed devices from receiving the May 2021 Patch Tuesday Windows security updates. When checking for updates within Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager and managed devices that connect to these servers, this month s security updates might not be available or offered, as Microsoft explained on the Windows Health Dashboard. This might also affect Security Only and Internet Explorer Cumulative Rollups, on platforms that receive these types of updates.
The known issue impacted both client and server platforms, from Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 SP2 up to the latest versions, Windows 10 20H2 and Windows Server 20H2.
Today, Microsoft is releasing a new cumulative update preview for those that are on Windows 10 version 2004 or 20H2, bringing the build number to 19041.789 or 19042.789, respectively.
