    After clean installation of Windows, Windows will automatically download and install essential drivers.
    Will your commands in post #473 prevent the above operation, which I don't want to prevent?
    Should I delay running your commands until the operation has finished?

    Yes, you should update, restart and check again, until it says, there are no updates.

    I found this sentence: 'The second command ensures UsoClient.exe can’t be run by any user or system group' at [How To] Manually install Windows 10 updates

    As UsoClient.exe can’t be run, why can my VBScript still check for updates automatically via Task Scheduler?

    When checking for updates manually, UsoClient.exe does not run.
    There are TrustedInstaller.exe and TiWorker.exe working via svchost.exe
    But if it runs silently in the background, there are PACKAGES still allowed:

    It seems, that I have forgotten to remove inheritance, last time I did it manually, so it did not occur to me. :o
    Code:
    takeown /f "%WINDIR%\System32\UsoClient.exe" /a
    icacls "%WINDIR%\System32\UsoClient.exe" /inheritance:r /remove "Administrators" "Authenticated Users" "Users" "System"
    Re-checked, the task fails to run and exe as well. Manual checking works fine.

    Ok, maybe it's because you forgot to remove inheritance, but I noticed that the following (below, not the quoted commands) didn't work. Updates would still be detected and installed, with the additional problem that Cumulative Updates were acting as if they hadn't been installed until adding the UsoClient permissions back, and then it would detect them as being installed.

    The whole idea of this is that even with the Windows Update service running, new updates aren't detected and installed unless manually checked, right? Hopefully also removing inheritance fixes that and does that.

    Code:
    takeown /f "%WINDIR%\System32\UsoClient.exe" /a
    icacls "%WINDIR%\System32\UsoClient.exe" /remove "Administrators" "Authenticated Users" "Users" "System"

    You are wrong.
    My VBScript, which runs daily via Task Scheduler, will automatically check for updates and notify me of new updates when they are detected.

    I get that, that's not what I'm saying.

    The above has never happened at my end because I have run the following:
