Windows 10: Pause windows update with a powershell script

Hi,I am trying to remotley pause windows update using a powershell script.I have tried installing PSWindowsUpdate module on the remote PC and then running: Set-WindowsUpdateAutoUpdateOption -AutoUpdateOption 2This didnt work and i am getting that Set-WindowsUpdateAutoUpdateOption is missing.Then i tried setting this reg key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU\NoAutoUpdate to 1.However, after a restart the settings UI still shows like windowsupdate is not paused.What is the right method to pause windows upadate through a PS1 script?Thanks,

:)

 

PowerShell instead of Commandline in Creators Update

Interestingly enough my personal laptop just got the update...and still has Command Prompt listed, not PowerShell...

Edit: Not that it matters...I use both regularly. *Toast :toast:

 

PowerShell scripts not working with Call operator

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues while developing a PowerShell script using the Call operator. I would suggest you to refer the articles

The Windows PowerShell ISE.



However, as the issue is related to developing PowerShell scripts, I would suggest you to post your query on

MSDN forums, where we have expertise and developers who are well equipped with the knowledge of developing PowerShell scripts in Windows.

Screenshots in my previous post fixed.

You enter just the plain drive letter, no colon, no backslash, no path.

Referring to line numbers in original script downloaded in step 2.2 and opened in elevated PS ISE script editor, delete CLS command in line 269, and add PAUSE command after line 286:





Script should now pause after erroring out, and you should be able to take a screenshot of the error message and post it here.
