Hello, In Windows Server 2019, the ability to choose specific updates to install has been significantly limited compared to previous versions like Windows Server 2012 R2. This is due to Microsoft’s cumulative updates to ensure that all systems are up-to-date with all patches, not just selected ones. There are a few workarounds you can consider: Windows Server Update Services (WSUS): WSUS is a Microsoft tool that allows IT administrators to manage the distribution of updates released through Microsoft Update to computers in a corporate environment. With WSUS, you can choose which updates to approve for installation. PowerShell: You can use PowerShell to manually download and install updates. Here’s a simple script:

Import the Server Update Services module

Import-Module PSWindowsUpdate

Get a list of all available updates

Get-WUList

Install a specific update

Install-WUItem -KBArticleID KBxxxxxx Replace KBxxxxxx with the KB Article ID of the update you want to install. Group Policy: You can configure Group Policy settings to manage Windows updates. Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Configure Automatic Updates, and set it to option 2 - “Notify for download and auto install”. This won’t let you choose updates like in WSUS or PowerShell, but it will prevent updates from being installed automatically. Microsoft Update Catalog: You can manually download and install updates from the Microsoft Update Catalog. Search for the update using its KB Article ID, download it, and manually install it.
