I have 2 Exchange Server 2016 CU12 servers in DAG along with Exchange 2010 Servers. I normally keep these options "UNCHECKED".

Under "Settings - Update & Security - Windows Update - Advanced options -

# Give me updates for other Microsoft products when I update Windows

# Defer feature updates

This time i created registry key to block automatic installation of .Net Framework 4.8 and started with Windows Updates. On first server it went fine. It did not download .Net Framework and any patches for Exchange server 2016 CU12.

On the second box I did follow the same steps, but it additionally downloaded "Security Update for Exchange Server 2016 CU12 KB4515832".

1. The option "Give me updates for other Microsoft products when I update Windows" is unchecked and greyed out" on both servers. Why?

2. Do I uninstall the security update or also install that on the second box, Manually or through windows updates?

3. I'm planning to upgrade to CU14, so will it uninstall the security update by itself or cause any problem?

4. I checked local group policy on both machines under " Computer Configuration - Windows Components - Windows Update - all options 'Not Configured'. Still how did it downloaded the security update (KB4515832)?

5. Which place can i check in registry / or elsewhere so that similar thing doesn't happen again? It should not download any update for exchange servers?

6. I checked under 'Sconfig' - option 5 - It is Manual'

Thanks
