#### Proxy Behavior
For Windows Update (WU) scans URLs which are used for update detection ([MS-WUSP]: SimpleAuth Web Service | Microsoft Docs, [MS-WUSP]: Client Web Service | Microsoft Docs):
- System proxy is attempted (set using the netsh command).
- If WUA fails to reach the service due to a certain proxy, service, or authentication error code, then user proxy is attempted (generally it is the logged-in user) Note: For intranet WSUS update service URLs, we provide an option via Windows Update policy to select the proxy behavior.
For WU URLs which are NOT used for update detection (download, reporting etc):
- User proxy is attempted.
- If WUA fails to reach the service due to certain proxy, service, or authentication error code, then the system proxy is attempted.
