Win10 21H2 removes WSUS Console, can’t get back

Topic

In the old days, every Win10 upgrade on my non-server PC would remove the WSUS Console to administer the WSUS Server and I’d have to download and re-install something (RSAT?). Then at some semi-recent upgrade (1909?), the Console would again get removed on every upgrade, but I could go to Optional Features and install from there. But now with last weekend’s upgrade from 20H2 to 21H2, WSUS Console is no longer in Optional Features. How do I get it back? The Microsoft guidance searched returns lots of Server 2008/2012 era stuff that I’m pretty sure is no longer valid.

I think you are thinking of RSAT

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-server-administration-tools

 

Starting with Windows 10 October 2018 Update, RSAT is included as a set of Features on Demand right from Windows 10. Now, instead of downloading an RSAT package you can just go to Manage optional features in Settings and click Add a feature to see the list of available RSAT tools. Select and install the specific RSAT tools you need. To see installation progress, click the Back button to view status on the Manage optional features page.

See the list of RSAT tools available via Features on Demand. In addition to installing via the graphical Settings app, you can also install specific RSAT tools via command line or automation using DISM /Add-Capability.
