Windows 10 Updates - Trigger "Update and Restart"
-
I have been using PSWindowsUpdate for several months now, and it is great. The only exception being that if you install a feature update (1703 to 1809, or 1809 to 1903, etc), it requires the end-user or, in this case, me, to connect to the UI of the client computer and select the "Update and Restart" option. A simple restart command doesn't perform the update step, just the restart, so the update doesn't get applied.
I have tried this, as per a recent technet forum post-
Start-Process -FilePath 'C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\SetupHost.exe' -WorkingDirectory 'C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources' -ArgumentList '/finalize /update'It doesn't give an error, but the system I ran it on, doesn't do anything. Has anyone come across a command that will actually force the update and restart option?

Looks like this might work.
USOClient.exe RestartDeviceAfter doing some digging into the UOSClient, it looks like the restartdevice switch only work for rebooting for a feature update. I have one device that I have that is still pending a reboot to update from 1809 to 1903. I will try it out if the user doesn't beat me to it.

This has been an issue for a very long time with windows. I am surprised it hasn't been fixed yet. It's really annoying

Well, at least with Win 7, a standard reboot applies updates. At least, I think it does. The main difference between Win 7 and 10, is that they have switched to the osoclient.exe to manage the updates.

I'm pretty sure server 2008 and onward had the issue. I don't remember dealing with it on workstations

I still have a 2008 R2 box and can test it on the next go 'round. I won't have it much longer, as I am dumping it prior to EOS.

It seemed like it was an issue on 2008 servers and someone mentioned upgrading to windows 8 to fix it. I think it has always been issue.

LOL - Didn't make this cutoff. Next week, hopefully.
