Super User Asked by SeanClt on December 1, 2021
I was using wuauclt.exe /detectnow /updatenow till now
and now on my Windows 10 Enterprise Build 1511 it’s not working
Is there an alternative way to detect and install updates using command?
I know it installs them automatically but i have no control over that schedule, i am not looking to defer them. I just want to be able to install if they are available on demand.
I had this machine where updates were installed on 4/11 so on 4/13 it was just sitting there not installing the updates, I ran the above command it did nothing
Then i went to PC Settings manually click Check Updates and it started installing.
So instead of having to manually check i would like to do that via command
It seems like WUAUCLT.EXE
has been replaced by USOCLIENT.EXE
Thanks to Jean-Yves Moschetto from anvole.com.
The command to run now is
USOCLIENT.EXE RefreshSettings StartScan StartDownload StartInstall
Sean Conroy from I don't know, read the manual has got additional info & command line options.

wuauclt.exe /detectnow has been deprecated according to "Features Removed or Deprecated in Windows Server 2016" for Windows Server 2016 and likely by extension Windows 10.
The wuauclt.exe /detectnow command has been removed and is no longer supported. To trigger a scan for updates, do either of the following:
Run these PowerShell commands:
$AutoUpdates = New-Object -ComObject "Microsoft.Update.AutoUpdate" $AutoUpdates.DetectNow()

The complete Windows 10 way to deal with updates sucks. I suggest you to use the tool called Windows Update MiniTool which allows to search for updates and also select which updates you would like to be installed and allows to block updates like you could in former Windows versions.
An alternative to the standard Windows Update What you can do:
• Check for updates
• Download updates
• Installing Updates
• Deleting installed updates
• Hiding unwanted updates
• Get direct links to the *.cab / *.Exe / *.Psf update files • View update history
• Configure Automatic Updates
• This tool is like the external powershell module PSWindowsUpdate, but much more advanced and user-friendly features
• The tool relies and use same WU infrastructure, all downloading are through WU it's not a downloader
