Command to force Windows Update
Is there a trick to making command 'Wuauclt.exe /updatenow' execute a complete Windows Update?

the HASS.Agent Satellite service runs with elevated privilages - having this command there will not require elevation, but I don't know it executing it from service's context will actually do anything

first person to ask for a forced windows update 😄
on normal systems HASS.Agent runs as non-elevated program (running it as elevated may break some things like notifications)
you could try to run a powershell script (or custom command) that will attempt to run 'Wuauclt.exe /updatenow' with admin privileges but 99% it'll end up with UAC prompt
however

Not surprised, windows update is the most painful thing I've ever encountered 😂 it's always breaking things
My main PC is 3 yrs out of date 😂
