Hello,

problem to get Windows 10 Enterprise Client in ESU Mode.
ESU-

We habe Windows 10 Clients with Enterprise Version. The Client have 22H2 with last patches.
I have an correct ESU-Key and insert it by CMD-Console correctly and it matched lizenzed. (Look the hardcopy)

.. but it doesn't work.
The Windows Update Window shows, that the current version give no more Security-Updates.
I think, it doesn't work properly.
What is the problem?
There are more steps, that to do?

Thank's for help an best regards

Edmund Fink

    Dear Edmund Fink

    From your description and the image, I can confirm that your ESU key has been correctly installed and activated. However, please note that activation alone does not enable the ESU updates automatically. To fully enable Windows 10 Enterprise clients for Extended Security Updates , you need to make sure the latest Servicing Stack Update and the ESU Preparation Package are both installed prior to running Windows Update.

    You can verify this by checking that the following updates are successfully installed on the system:

    The latest Servicing Stack Update (SSU) for Windows 10, version 22H2

    The ESU Licensing Preparation Package (KB5016892 or newer, depending on your build)

    Once those are in place, please run wuauclt /detectnow or check for updates again through Windows Update ,the system should then start receiving ESU patches as expected.

    I hope this information is useful. Please accept the answer so that it could be spread further to those in need too. If not, is there anything I can help you with? Please let me know.

    Thank you
