I have installed my first Windows 2016 servers, and Windows Update looks to be radically different out of the box.
In every previous version of Windows for at least the past 13 years, I open Control Panel and click Windows Update. It listed all available updates and I checked only those I actually wanted to install. I also manually kicked off the install when I wanted it to run.
Windows Update does not appear in the Control Panel in Windows Server 2016. I went into Settings|Update & Security. So far, I have applied updates to one server, and I appeared to have no ability to select which updates to install; rather, it installed every update that it identified.
This behavior is unacceptable on a server. I need the ability to select which updates to install and to manually control when to install them. This will be especially true when I install Exchange and will want to be able to search for Exchange patches as well. I certainly will want to control which patches to install and when to restart.
I do all Windows and Exchange updates manually; I do not use WSUS for these servers.
How do I configure Windows 2016 to allow me to manually select which updates to actually install and when to install them?
Thank you very much for your help.
