Windows 10 Update From Command Line

[Oralloy]

Is there a simple command that I can use as Admin to cause my computer to fetch and apply all outstanding updates.

What was suggested is this, although it seems not to work:

wuauclt /DetectNow /UpdateNow 
 

I also observe that the "/UpdateNow" option is not well documented in the sources that I've seen, so I do not even know if it applies to Windoze 10.

The goal is to have a simple file that I execute to update 40 machines. I would like to avoid the GUI, which is rather time-consuming.

Hello Oralloy,


wucauclt does not work in Windows 10 as it did in previous versions of Windows. I would recommend using the PowerShell approach:

(New-Object -ComObject Microsoft.Update.AutoUpdate).DetectNow()

Or you can run this a .vbs script.

Set automaticUpdates = CreateObject("Microsoft.Update.AutoUpdate") automaticUpdates.DetectNow()

Steven,

Thanks for making time to help me.

I see no output to screen when I run the power-shell command in the window. The call simply returned immediately.

Is that the expected result?

If not, what would I expect to see if there were waiting, outstanding upodates?

Thanks,
Oralloy
