Why is KB2881553 not available in WSUS?

I have addressed this issue in the WSUS forum and was told that the WSUS team is not responsible for what updates appear in WSUS, that is the responsibility of the specific product group, Windows in this case. I also know at this point that my WSUS
is configured correctly.
My users with touchscreen monitors or Surface Pro tablets are eligible for "Update for the English Input Personalization Dictionary - KB2881553" but this update only appears when they bypass my WSUS and go directly to Windows Update. In our
environment, we don't want our users launching Windows Update or installing unapproved updates, so this is a problem.
The update appears in the Microsoft Update Catalog, and I can import it manually into WSUS. Unfortunately that is a manual procedure that has to be repeated every time the update is revised, which is several times a month.
It seems that whoever it is at Microsoft who is responsible for Windows updates never ticked the box to "publish this update for WSUS" or similar procedure. Can someone check into this and either fix it or let me know why it's not
available?

By the way, for what it's worth I've shunned all things Metro/Modern - to the extent that I've even sought out and disabled various "Windows Store" operations.
Yet, since my systems are still tied directly to Microsoft's servers (not my own WSUS)  I still do see updates for the "English Input Personalization Dictionary" come in through Windows Update.
I am at a loss to see why it should be considered "good enough" to be included in the "official" channel of updates but not for the self-managed flavor.  It almost makes you wonder whether they're actively trying to make tying
everything directly to the Microsoft cloud work the best, with obvious motives.
I only posted here to nod my head in agreement with you, and to affirm that "LG" did a lot of typing but not a whole lot of helping in your case.  Having said that, I have been on the other side of this kind of conversation where
I have just known something isn't going to be addressed because over time I had come to know the policies of the big company, and so I have tried to express that to someone who can't understand why something isn't being addressed.  But I have tried
to remain humble.
Oh, and I'll also toss in that it's often virtually impossible to report problems to folks at Microsoft who could make a difference if only they knew about the problems.  Thus, like you, I sometimes post them here.  There are several folks
inside Microsoft who do appear to follow up on forum posts from time to time and get things accomplished, so I wish you the best of luck.

  • HT204411 iTunes store - I live in the German speaking part of Switzerland (and have a credit card address here too) but want to watch films in English, Italian, or French. Why are films not available in these other languages ?

    Hello, I live in the German speaking part of Switzerland (and have a credit card address here too) but want to watch films in English, Italian, or French. Why are films not available in these other languages ? Unless I am mistaken, iTunes Switzerland is far from Swiss and does not encourage its people to watch films in the local languages of its country (at least French and Italian would be good too...). Can anyone help ? Do I have to move to Geneva to watch a non French film in French or Lugano to watch a non Italian film in Italian or simply buy a DVD to get round it?

    I have the same problem. I want to watch any movies in French (in the original, or subtitled and/or dubbed). But I cannot seem to find any on iTunes. Does iTunes offer any content in other countries (I live overseas) in the languages of those countries?

    Skype has not published a native version of its messaging application for Nokia Series 40 devices. Therefore, it is not possible as of this moment.

  • Why is Dutch not available in Siri?

    Could someone please tell me why Dutch is not available in Siri (ios6).
    It is deffinately not the same as German (just for the info).
    By the way, Arabic is also a worldlanguage, spoken by many people. There is Chinese but no Arabic. Really something to think about in the future for the developers of IOS. Anyways, this was about dutch, so could anyone please tell me why there is no Dutch available in Siri?
    Thanks in advance!

    Because Apple hasn't made it available yet. They have made no specific statements as to why certain languages are not yet available so there's really no other answer anyone here can give.
    Submit your feedback requesting Dutch directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

  • HT4059 Why are books not available even though they appear as search results in Apple Canada iBook Store?

    Why are books not available even though they appear as search results in Apple Canada iBook Store?

    You can only buy from your own country's store - to be able to buy from another country's store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it. You can try requesting that they be added to US store, but ultimately it's the book's publisher that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
    Are they available in other ebook stores/apps that you have access to e.g. Amazon/Kindle, Nook, Kobo etc ?

  • OVI Maps for C3 - why is it not available?

    The phone supports the related JSR(179).
    It is possible to connect (Nokia-made) GPS modules via Bluetooth. 
    The Maps application is available for other Series 40 phones.
    Why is it not available for the Nokia C3?
    Nokia Lumia 520 3046.0000.1329.2001 RM-914
    Nokia Asha 302 V15.09 22-05-13 RM-813

    The C3 is retailed on many emerging markets, where the customers are different; here the phone might serve as a "poor man's smartphone".
    I assumed some kind of technical detail prohibits the app from being released; not having a landscape-capable version looks like a good reason to me.
    Otherwise, even having the maps without GPS connectivity could be useful. What was the problem you encountered with the 3720c? Perhaps something there helped Nokia to make a decision not to pursue this path any further.

    A quick google or a look in Betalabs will tell you that Nokia diverged Sports tracker last year so it is no longer "Nokia" http://runningdigital.com/2009/10/21/nokia-sports-​tracker-update-sports-tracking-technologies/
    Nothing on their site yet http://www.sportstrackingtechnologies.com/, but presumably something will pop up on Ovi Store in the future.

  • I've just bought an album and downloaded it,went to sync it to my ipod shuffle and it doesn't appear in the album list to sync, yet it is in the music library? why is it not available to sync?

    I've just bought an album and downloaded it,went to sync it to my ipod shuffle and it doesn't appear in the album list to sync, yet it is in the music library? why is it not available to sync?

    This sounds similar to the problem where new purchases will appear in playlists, but not the main music source, suggesting that iTunes is making a hash of the indexes. Somewhat bizarrely the solution for that one seems to be to download the current free Single of the Week, maybe it will help you too.

  • HT204032 Why is Powernap not available for other MB's such as the MBP mid 2010 model for example?

    Why is Powernap not available for other MB's such as the MBP mid 2010 model for example?

    I have a 2010 MBP 6,2 with an aftermarket SSD. My machine gets mail and notifications while asleep, but I do not have any powernap pref box in energy savings under 10.9.1
    I do not have an Apple SSD. I have a Crucial M4-CT512M4SSD2
    Apple did replace my MB last Fall under the video fault problem (for free after 3 years.....thanks Apple), but it stills identifies as a 6,2  Boot ROM  MBP61.0057.B0F
    I wish I could shut off this powernap feature, but have no access to it.

  • Why is Siri not available on the iPhone 4

    If Siri is software, why is it not available on all iPhones?  I remember when the 3GS came out and we got video but not on older phones yet there where hacks available for older phones that allowed video.  Is this the same scenario where Apple is trying to force hardware upgrades in order to benefit from new software when it really isn't necessary?

    Siri is not available on the iPhone for because Apple didn't make it so.  None of us users here know the reason; speculation is prohibited by the Terms of Use of this forum.
    Regardless of the reason, it is NOT available except for the iPhone 4S.  If you want Siri badly enough, get a 4S.  Complaining doesn't change anything, and none of us here really want to listen to it anyway.
