Why?** - -If you synchronize from an upstream Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server instead of Microsoft Update, make sure that the upstream WSUS server is configured to support and synchronize Surface driver updates. All downstream servers are limited to updates that are present in the upstream WSUS server database. - There are more than 68,000 updates that are classified as drivers in WSUS. To prevent non-Surface related drivers from synchronizing to Configuration Manager, Microsoft filters driver synchronization against an allow list. After the new allow list is published and incorporated into Configuration Manager, the new drivers are added to the console following the next synchronization. Microsoft aims to get the Surface drivers added to the allow list each month in line with Patch Tuesday to make them available for synchronization to Configuration Manager. If your Configuration Manager environment is offline, a new allow list is imported every time you import [servicing updates](https://docs.microsoft.com/mem/configmgr/core/servers/manage/use-the-service-connection-tool) to Configuration Manager. You will also have to import a [new WSUS catalog](https://docs.microsoft.com/mem/configmgr/sum/get-started/synchronize-software-updates-disconnected) that contains the drivers before the updates are displayed in the Configuration Manager console. Because a stand-alone WSUS environment contains more drivers than a Configuration Manager SUP, we recommend that you establish a Configuration Manager environment that has online capabilities, and that you configure it to synchronize Surface drivers. This provides a smaller WSUS export that closely resembles the offline environment.
