# Determining the source of Windows updates
Windows 10 devices can receive updates from a variety of sources, including Windows Update online, a Windows Server Update Services server, and others. To determine the source of Windows Updates currently being used on a device, follow these steps: 
1. Start Windows PowerShell as an administrator
2. Run `\$MUSM = New-Object -ComObject “Microsoft.Update.ServiceManager”`.
3. Run `\$MUSM.Services`. Check the resulting output for the **Name** and **OffersWindowsUPdates** parameters, which you can intepret according to this table:
| Output | Interpretation |
|-----------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
| - Name: **Microsoft Update**<br>-OffersWindowsUpdates: **True** | - The update source is Microsoft Update, which means that updates for other Microsoft products besides the operating system could also be delivered.<br>- Indicates that the client is configured to receive updates for all Microsoft Products (Office, etc.)|
|- Name: **DCat Flighting Prod** <br>- OffersWindowsUpdates: **False**|- The update source is the Windows Insider Program.<br>- Indicates that the client will not receive or is not configured to receive these updates. |
| - Name: **Windows Store (DCat Prod)**<br>- OffersWindowsUpdates: **False** |-The update source is Insider Updates for Store Apps.<br>- Indicates that the client will not receive or is not configured to receive these updates.|
|- Name: **Windows Server Update Service**<br>- OffersWindowsUpdates: **True** |- The source is a Windows Server Updates Services server.<br>- The client is configured to receive updates from WSUS.|
|- Name: **Windows Update**<br>- OffersWindowsUpdates: **True** |- The source is Windows Update.<br>- The client is configured to receive updates from Windows Update Online.|
