Not able to download Windows 11 22H2 data

[shrishti01]

Hello all,

I am not able to download patches details using kbupdate module using the following command for eg "Get-KbUpdate -Name KB5030219", basically all "Windows11 22H2" Microsoft products.
__
Please suggest how to fetch this information, as I am always missing patches details for Windows11 22H2.

Thanks in Advance

I seem to have this same issue, also with some Windows 2022 KBs. Has there been a work-around or fix posted?

[BWarmuskerken]

the main issue is that MS changed the download links in the dialog. There is no longer a download.windowsupdate link in the dialog for Win 11, it is catalog.sf.dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com.

Changing this line in Get-KBUpdate seems to work for me for Win 11
$links = $downloaddialog | Select-String -AllMatches -Pattern "(http[s]?://.download.windowsupdate.com/[^\'\""])" | Select-Object -Unique
$links = $downloaddialog | Select-String -AllMatches -Pattern "(http[s]?://.catalog.sf.dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com/[^\'""])" | Select-Object -Unique

Edit C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\kbupdate\2.0.27\public\Get-KbUpdate.ps1
add if statement after line 693
$links = $downloaddialog | Select-String -AllMatches -Pattern "(http[s]?://.download.windowsupdate.com/[^\'\""])" | Select-Object -Unique
if (-not $links) {
$links = $downloaddialog | Select-String -AllMatches -Pattern "(http[s]?://.catalog.sf.dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com/[^\'""])" | Select-Object -Unique
}

Just tested the changes of @BWarmuskerken and can confirm it's finding info and links now - marvelous, indeed!

I am by no means an expert, where does the change fail for you? On May 10, 2024 2:12 PM EDT tayzer522 ***@***.***> wrote:       I'm having this same issue.

I got it fixed already. I think the issue was with using a cached version

What I found is that even though you may close the ISE, you need to go to taskmanager and kill the powershell processes listed.  I stumbled on that for a while too.   Have a good weekend.

Anyone was able to get this to work? Can you please submit a commit to get the module updated.

Thanks

I had to replace the dot, with a dot plus an asterisk, in the RegEx for .catalog.sf.dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com/, as follows.

$links = $downloaddialog | Select-String -AllMatches -Pattern "(http[s]?://.download.windowsupdate.com/[^\'\""])" | Select-Object -Unique
if (-not $links) {
$links = $downloaddialog | Select-String -AllMatches -Pattern "(http[s]?://.*catalog.sf.dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com/[^\'""])" | Select-Object -Unique
}

[mrmattipants]

i suppose you could also remove the dot, altogether ;)

working off what you guys added to Get-KBUpdate:
I wasn't able to grab 1809 KBs anymore, but everything is working so far (including win11) after changing $links to:
$links = $downloaddialog | Select-String -AllMatches -Pattern "(http[s]?://.download.windowsupdate.com/[^\'\""])|(http[s]?://.*catalog.sf.dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com/[^\'""])" | Select-Object -Unique

[mae1cum77]

my working solution, slightly adapted from the above one:

$links = $downloaddialog | Select-String -AllMatches -Pattern "(http[s]?://.*download\.windowsupdate\.com\/[^\'\""])|(http[s]?://.*catalog\.sf\.dl\.delivery\.mp\.microsoft\.com\/[^\'\""]*)" | Select-Object -Unique

so far it got last updates for 24H2 aka KB5044284 correctly ... let's see.

I used $links = $downloaddialog | Select-String -AllMatches -Pattern "(http[s]?://.(download.windowsupdate.com|catalog.sf.dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com)/[^\'\""])" | Select-Object -Unique

With the $links value from my original comment, I was able to get info for the KBs I needed but ran into an issue downloading them. With your $links value, everything works great

With your $links value, everything works great

was playing with your code and added some backslashes to match the original line. so far it seems to work. let's see what future might bring up :).

downloaded 2024-11 KB5046617 CU successfully ... still seem sto work ... fine i'd say. brainstorming ideas is always good :).
