  when i try to install CU 22 for SQL 2017 my current version is not recognized by the installation file. My current version is RTM-CU14-GDR. What could be the cause for this.

  Hi,

  theres are differences between an CU and a GDR update. But I don't know, how you can fix it. But if you once install a GDR update, no CU update will install.

  Maybe someone frome this forum will give some more information.

  Kind regards and good luck

  As Andreas said, the CU and GDR updates are different and cannot be mixed.

  Previously, you could change between CU and GDR after installing a new SP; but with SPs now a thing of the past, you probably need to reinstall the Instance to change between them!

  The latest GDR release for MSSQL 2017 is:

  "KB4583456 - Description of the security update for SQL Server 2017 GDR: January 12, 2021"

  which will upgrade your instance to version: 14.0.2037.2

  Try this, should work for any 2017 Instance on the GDR stream.
