I'd like to have an icon or shortcut to Windows Update, preferably in the Start Window.
Currently I have to type "Update" in search to get there. 3 steps, very clunky.
In Windows 7 we had a link in the Start > Programs Menu. Something like that.
Mean left click start menu select Settings and click Update &Security is still to long of a process. To me way Windows update is on Windows 10 what is use having it so quickly accessible ?

Use Option One
excerpt ..............
#5 . If you like, you can Pin to Taskbar, Pin to Start, add to All apps, add to Quick Launch, assign a keyboard shortcut to, or move this shortcut to where you like for easy use.
P.S. I used this tutorial and I extracted the zip file to the desktop. Now I have a Windows Update desktop shortcut.

You can make a shortcut using a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier). Here is a link to a page that tells you how.

The URI for Windows Update is near the bottom of the list.

Didn't he want it on desktop, not in start menu ?
