What are the Steps to Manage Windows Updates Using PowerShell Commands?

To manage Windows Updates using PowerShell commands on your Windows 10 Enterprise, follow these steps:

1. Open PowerShell as an Administrator

Navigate to the Start menu, search for PowerShell, right-click on it, and select ‘Run as administrator’. This will open a PowerShell window with administrative privileges.

2. Install the PSWindowsUpdate Module

The PSWindowsUpdate Module is a powerful tool that enables you to manage Windows Updates directly from PowerShell. To install this module, execute the following command:

Install-Module PSWindowsUpdate

3. Check for Updates

Once the PSWindowsUpdate Module is installed, you can check for available updates by running the following command:

Get-WindowsUpdate

4. Install Updates

If there are updates available, you can install all of them by executing the following command:

Install-WindowsUpdate

5. Automatic Reboot After Update

If you want your system to automatically reboot after installing the updates (which is often necessary for the updates to take effect), you can use the following command:

Get-WindowsUpdate -AcceptAll -Install -AutoReboot

By following these steps, you can effectively manage your Windows Updates using PowerShell commands. Remember to run these commands regularly to keep your system up-to-date and secure.
