about WSUS update

Question

hello:

The original computer was installed with the Windows 10 operating system, but now we plan to update to Windows 11 and use the SUS push for the upgrade. However, during the push, the client computer received the upgrade file and the download progress has been around 40% for almost an hour without any movement. I don't know what the problem is causing this. Also, I would like to ask if there is a file size limit when WSUS pushes the file? thank you。

Hi, @小 林

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

When you deploy large updates (such as service packs), you can avoid saturating the network by using the following practices:

1. Use Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) throttling.
2. Use Internet Information Services (IIS) throttling to limit throttling to one or more web services.
3. Use computer groups to control the rollout.
