Morning team, with the recent W10 releases still catching up, I thought about setting up WSUS on our Workshop PCs. I’ve used them before with 2008 R2 at my previous job. My main concern is whether I can run WSUS on a Windows 10 system. Since the machines are mostly used for data recovery and we run some VMs for sandboxing, I don’t want to set up a full server VM just for this purpose. It would be great if someone could confirm how this can be done and what the best approach is.

I tried to skip that setup, but the server is way too complex for what we actually need—just want WSUS. Could look into some other options later.

it seems I'll need to adjust my approach and only activate the VM when necessary. Frustrating since most third-party tools are too aggressive, especially in professional settings where updates should stay on-site and be pushed to clients' machines only when they're available, not constantly.
