We have windows server 2008 R2 and sharepoint enterprise farm 2013. now as i know that around 3-4 years ago Microsoft decided not to distribute SharePoint updates (except for security fixes) via Windows Update anymore. but when i checked our windows update tool i found the following updates for sharepoint, where there is a single non-security update (marked in red), named update for SharePoint Server 2013 (KB2920730), as follow:-

  • I've illustrated that simple updates like KB2920730 may come from Windows Update. Cumulative updates will not come from WU.
