You can specify sources for scanning and downloading updates under [Specify intranet Microsoft Update service location](/windows/deployment/update/waas-wu-settings#specify-intranet-microsoft-update-service-location). By default, Windows Update client is configured to download updates from Windows Update. When you specify a WSUS server as a source for your machines, if the updates aren't approved in WSUS, update deployment fails.

## Scenario: Superseded update indicated as missing in Update Management
23+
24+
### Issue
25+
26+
Old updates are appearing in Update Management in the Azure Account as missing even though they have been superseded. A superseded update is one that doesn't have to be installed because a later update that corrects the same vulnerability is available. Update Management ignores the superseded update and makes it not applicable in favor of the superseding update. For information about a related issue, see [Update is superseded](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/update/windows-update-troubleshooting#the-update-is-not-applicable-to-your-computer).
27+
28+
### Cause
29+
30+
Superseded updates are not being correctly indicated as declined so that they can be considered not applicable.
31+
32+
### Resolution
33+
34+
When a superseded update becomes 100 percent not applicable, you should change the approval state of that update to **Declined**. To do this for all your updates:
35+
36+
1. In the Automation Account, select **Update Management** to view machine status. See [View update assessments](manage-update-multi.md#view-an-update-assessment).
37+
38+
2. Check the superseded update to make sure that it is 100 percent not applicable.
39+
40+
3. Mark the update as declined unless you have a question about the update.
41+
42+
4. Select Computers and, in the Compliance column, force a rescan for compliance. See [Manage updates for multiple machines](manage-update-multi.md).
43+
44+
5. Repeat the steps above for other superseded updates.
45+
46+
6. Run the cleanup wizard to delete files from the declined updates.
47+
48+
7. For WSUS, manually clean all superseded updates to refresh the infrastructure.
49+
50+
8. Repeat this procedure regularly to correct the display issue and minimize the amount of disk space used for update management.
