Scheduling Windows Updates Through Task Scheduler
I'd like to be able to run Windows updates each day at 2:00am. I need to move them to non productive hours.
I read the posting by Brink on setting the Automated Updates. I confirmed my settings and ensured my wake timers (under Sleep in Advanced Power Options) is set to enabled. It doesn't run which I confirmed by opening settings and I can see the last time it checked for updates is not 2:00am, it is when I did a manual check.
I'm running Windows Home 10 so the group policy solution also posted doesn't work. I found this command "control.exe /name Microsoft.WindowUpdate" and while it will invoke updates in a CMD window I don't have sufficient permissions within task scheduler. This is interesting as I set the task with an admin id and confirmed twice that the "Run with highest privileges" box is tick. Now when I open the command prompt manually I do invoke as admin.
Does anyone have a command or a possible solution to this issue. I liked Brink's idea of just using Windows to do the job but can't understand why the "Last Time Checked" wasn't updated.
Any help would be appreciated. I've enclosed the error from the event viewer. In Task scheduler it ends on a (0x1).
