It will be fixed with one of those anniversary updates...No more then 10-20 years from now...
Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Yes, it's called WSUS, and unlike the Windows 10 version, it actually works. Perhaps not so much "peer-to-peer" in that the machines don't get to share updates amongst each other, but at least once the server gets all patches, traffic remains within my LAN. My DSL connection to the outside world is barely 5mbps, but seeing patches download from individual machines at gigabit speed is pretty satisfying. As a bonus - since I never let the server download it, none of my pre-10 machines *ever* got the GWX Windows 10 upgrade nagware.

When in doubt, just add another MS service/server that uses sql server and requires 8gb ram and licensing... :) I had a bad experience with WSUS.

That "MS service/server" predates the Windows 10 (re-)implementation by a decade and, as I wrote, works. Not sure where you're getting your 8GB of RAM figure either, I have it running in a VM with 1.5GB. As for licensing - if you already have the server OS, the service is already built-in and won't cost you a dime more to use. My MSDN subscription provides me with all the server licenses I need. If you were talking about SQL Server licensing - if you install it on a machine with no database at all, it'll use the bare-bones Windows Internal Database. Was your bad experience with WSUS back in 2003?
