I have multiple servers that are showing 10-20 updates required in the WSUS console.
The server says that it is up to date. I have verified that the update is approved and shows as install status, but the server still doesn't download it?
I have downloaded the suspect updates from the Windows Update site, and tried installing them, and they all install and show the server needed them.
After running wuauclt /reportnow the WSUS server shows those updates as installed and not needed.
Does anyone have any idea why the server can get these updates from the WSUS server? is it a setting I have wrong? Nothing has changed in the configuration in quite some time.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

WSUS is completely broken with Windows 10. I have had nothing but problems and tried rebuilding the server a few times and ended up having the same problems. I even tried building a server 2019 with WSUS and had the same problems. I would recommend using group policy to control windows 10 updates and allowing the systems to go directly out to Microsoft to get the updates.
The GPO settings are located at: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Windows Update for Business
