Some patches need a reboot to complete an install, while some don’t and so on. There are many “states” a patch can be, such as available, downloaded and installed. For example, if we’re happy with installing the list of patches provided with Get-WindowsUpdate with no parameters, we can take the next logical step and install them. Get-WindowsUpdate provides many different parameters to query and install updates. Once you know what you’re missing, you can take that information and install the patches. When run, you can see below that it returns a list of all of the missing updates on whatever computer you target.
The Get-WindowsUpdate command supports querying the local computer or remote computers. The PSWindowsUpdate module provides a command called Get-WindowsUpdate we can use to discover any missing patches. Querying missing patchesīefore you can install patches, you need to know which patches you need across your systems. By running Get-Command -Module PSWindowsUpdate, you can see that we can do a lot of things other than just installing patches. Once downloaded, the module’s commands should be available to you.
In your PowerShell session, run Install-Module PSWindowsUpdate to download and install the latest version. PSWindowsUpdate is a community module that’s available via the PowerShell Gallery.
I wish someone would remove these old modules from the script gallery and replace with instructions for PowerShellGet.Installing and getting to know PSWindowsUpdate This will install the latest version from PowerShellGet. PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-WUUninstall KB4465065 -confirm:$false I was able to get the command to run by adding the " -confirm:$false", but I now get prompted with a yes no, would you like to uninstall.
