[German]Since Microsoft released its cumulative (security) updates for Windows on September 13, 2022, copying or moving files via Group Policy (GPO) no longer works.

[German]I got reports from a few people complaining that their Windows 10 clients didn't get updates via WSUS in September 2022. Then it turned out that their clients were already upgraded to version 22H2 via WSUS in August 2022 via an enablement update. But this is a bit strange, because the Windows 10 2022 update, referred here as Windows 10 22H2, has not yet been officially released by Microsoft.
