This is because Microsoft has deprecated and removed it. If you notice, /DetectNow is no longer in the list for Windows 10. On older systems (Windows 8.1 and earlier, Server 2012R2 and earlier) you can see that you have a lot more.Īs you can see, the bolded ones are common between old versions and new versions of Windows. There are many switches through the years that have been found, and with the help of Strings (Sysinternals), on a current version of Windows 10, you can see that the only ones listed are: WUAuclt Utility – (v=ws.It stands for Windows Update Automatic Update CLien T.To scan and install updates, you can simply run: USOClient.exe ScanInstallWait Restart device to finish installation of updates May ask for user input and/or open dialogues to show progress or report errors Refresh Settings if any changes were made USOClient utility works on Windows 10 and Windows 2016 / 2019 + as a replacement of WUAUclt. Windows Update service, USOClient.exe, is basically a command to run either scan for updates, install or resume updates. USO stands for Update Session Orchestrator, and it’s the replaced Windows Update Agent. Note that for Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 / 2019 +, you need to run USOClient.exe StartScan instead of WUAUclt.exe /detectnow. In that case you can run the following command. Sometimes you may need to re-register a client with WSUS server. WUAUclt switches wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization /detectnow - you can use this command to expire the cookie, initiate detection, and have WSUS update computer group membership. Sends all queued reporting events to the server asynchronously. If Automatic Updates is disabled, this option has no effect. Initiates an asynchronous background search for applicable updates.

WUAUClt.exe /updatenow - installs the downloaded updates If there are updates approved for install that client needs, it ill download them when the command run. WUAUClt.exe /detectnow - forcing an update detection. There is a replacement for WUAUClt named USOClient located in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ directory.īefore Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 / 2019, you can use WUAUClt to search for and download and install new updates. I believe some of you must have noticed that WUAUClt no longer works on Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016 / 2019.
