Windows updates no drivers or firmware

I’ve been beating my head against a wall. Would like to “mirror” the updates that the gui installs by default. pswindowsupdate has thwarted my efforts. :slight_smile:

Do you guys have the syntax for the pswindowsupdate excluding drivers and firmware?

I’ll give this a shot.. I’d thought I’d tried the -MicrosoftUpdate and the command failed…

Officers coming in because old cf-33 toughbooks brick from a firmware update is all it took. :slight_smile: Hard for them to write tickets..

Luckily, was an easy fix, remove batteries, hold down power for 30 seconds…

Make sure your not missing -NotCategory ‘Drivers’
