Hello,

I am currently struggling with WSUS 6.3 that is included in Windows 2012 R2. The speed WSUS use to download critical updates is ridiculously slow. It annoys me greatly.

I found several solution to this issue but there are too many. What is the easy and the right approach to resolve this mindboggling issue?

Friendly Regards, Master-DXT.

Hi,

If we want to increase the download speed of BITS, we may try to set the BITS in foreground mode.

SQLCMD.exe -S \\.\pipe\Microsoft##WID\tsql\query -d "SUSDB" -Q "update tbConfigurationC set BitsDownloadPriorityForeground=1"

Note: SQLCMD is not included in WSUS v6.3 by default. We need to download the ODBC driver and SQL commandline utils manually.

Best Regards.
