Hi, after having issues with WSUS server content getting to huge I followed these instruction to reset the updates: http://blogs.technet.com/b/gborger/archive/2009/02/27/what-to-do-when-your-wsuscontent-folder-grows-too-large.aspx
Now WSUS has re-downloaded all necesery updates, from WSUS (3.2.7600.226) I see that my computer needs 11 more updates, I check update from computer (Update Agent 7.6.7600.256) then it does not see any new update? And Windowsupdate.log confirms that query was indeed succeful but did not return any results:

I have configured WSUS so that it stored updates locally on server (only when approved) and it shall download express installation files.
Other thing that bother me is that even though GPO specifies not to allow automatic restart for Windows Update for some updates it still does reboot windows with 15 minutes countdown with no option to postpone it (if user is not at the desk then he/she shall loose all open matters).
