Since the new UUP updates for Windows 11 22H2 we experienced an issue that the latest CU was not downloading/installing during the “Install Software Update” step of our OS deployment Task Sequence. It remains exactly 30 minutes trying to download the same update, then it tried again for 30 minutes. Resulting in a one-hour delay in the deployment.

In Belgium we speak different languages, so our Windows 10 devices are deployed with the native English “en-US” ISO. Together with extra installed Language Packs (LPs), users can change the User Interface language whenever they want. This was working for the last couple of years.
