    Indeed discontinued but its development is maintained by the fork WSUS Offline Update Community Edition (https://gitlab.com/wsusoffline/wsusoffline/-/releases) Pro: Good alternative for offline Windows updates. Con: Does not offer Windows upgrades ; i.e., you cannot upgrade from for example 20H2 to 21H2.
