USOclient

Question

Hello, 

Since wuauclt has been depreciated in windows 10, I was googling what has replaced it. 

I found that usoclient is what has replaced this command for windows update in the command line. 

However none of the commands work except one 

USOclient ScanInstall Wait

The startScan option kicks it on for about a half second but fails to actually scan

Here are the commands I could find

• RefreshSettings – used to quickly enact any settings changes
• RestartDevice – as the name implies, it restarts the device. Can be used in a script to allow updates to finish installing on next boot.
• ResumeUpdate – used to tell the tool to resume updating after a reboot.
• StartDownload – initiates a full download (from Microsoft) of existing updates
• StartInstall – kicks-off the installation of the downloaded updates
• ScanInstallWait – Combined Scan Download Install
• StartInteractiveScan – we’ve yet to get this one to work, but it suggests that the process may work in a GUI
• StartScan – kicks-off a regular scan

If anyone has any info on this it would be greatly appreciated.
