I hope this helps, sorry I don’t have more exact info.
WINDOWS FEATURES NOT LOADING OFFLINE
I don’t even know if this is possible, but you might need to have two WSUS servers, one where everything is approved, so it offline downloads all updates, and then downstream have a secondary one that the computers report to so you can manually approve when you want. In that case, you’d have all the updates but the problem is that they would all be approved and installed. In this case I’d highly recommend using WSUS with SQL, instead of the WID (Windows internal Database), and make sure your keep the WSUS database clean.
WINDOWS FEATURES NOT LOADING UPDATE
After an admin approves the “needed” update, WSUS will reach out and download the update making it available to the host.įor offline synchronization, in a use case where you can’t have that back and forth communication to sync/download only “needed” and approve from there, technically you’d need to synchronization all categories, and then approve all updates which would probably be 100’s of GB or even possibly TBs of data. Your case is interesting, because typically in most environments there’s the master synchronization, and then as clients contact WSUS, admins approve updates that are “Needed”.
WINDOWS FEATURES NOT LOADING INSTALL
To load them offline, I don’t even know if this is possible (I haven’t Google’d it), but could you put a Windows ISO on a network share, and use DISM to install components or roles you need for your specific use case? If you’re doing this for Features and Roles, I don’t think this will work for your scenario. Having them completely cut off kinda breaks that, lol.

The resolutions I’ve posted allow the Windows workstations to bypass WSUS to install Features or Roles. Please see an example of the configuration below:
