Hi,

Prior to Windows 10 you were able to use wuauclt /detectnow, but it has been deprecated and no longer functions so now you will have to use the USOCLIENT. The equivalent command for the "wuauclt /detectnow" is "usoclient StartScan".

In order to check for updates from Windows Update follow the steps below:

1. Open up a Command Prompt (Admin).
2. Type: usoclient StartScan
3. You should now see the Windows Update in the Settings menu "Checking for Updates..."

Best regards,
Leon

You could try the Windows Update PowerShell Module that can be found on the TechNet Gallery.
