Windows 10 offers you the choice of when and how to get the latest updates to keep your device running smoothly and securely. To manage your options and see available updates, select Check for Windows updates. Or select the Start button, and then go to Settings Update & Security Windows Update. Once downloaded Windows 10 offline updates can be used to update windows 10 on multiple systems, saving your precious data. Standalone installer Windows 10 update links provided here are of direct download nature, you are not required to go to Windows Catalog Website and manually search and downloads them one by one.
How often do you install a clean version of a Windows operating system either for yourself or somebody else? Although a lot of users are sensible and make full backups of their system using either disk imaging software or something like the Windows 7 System image function, there is sometimes no option but to reinstall because it canât be avoided. Hardware failures, viruses, or even computers with poor performing or highly abused operating systems are all reasons to have to wipe the old system and start again. Some users even install their operating system regularly to keep it clean and running at maximum performance.
Whether youâre installing a new Windows by choice or by necessity, you will soon be pretty sick of wasting hours downloading all the hotfixes from Windows Update and continuously downloading patch after patch. Having just installed Windows 7 to see how many updates are available for the most popular version of Windows, itâs quite shocking to see it has 117 important updates ready to be downloaded! And that obviously doesnât include recommended updates like the multitude of newer .NET Framework patches and subsequent updates after you install software like Internet Explorer 9 or 10 etc.
One solution is to use a slipstreaming application like nLite to integrate hotfixes into the install disc, but even these become outdated every month after the latest round of hotfixes. If waiting for all the updates to install doesnât appeal, an alternative is to have a program store and automatically install the updates for you from a USB stick or external hard drive. While it isnât as quick as a slipstreamed disc, this method is an awful lot quicker than waiting for everything to be downloaded and installed from the internet, and can be left to it while you go and do something else. Here are 4 applications that can do exactly that, you can even run them on a currently installed Windows to bring it up to date.
1. AutoPatcher
AutoPatcher has been around for several years and used to be distributed as a huge executable file that included all the update patches inside. After complaints from Microsoft in 2007, it was modified to download and distribute the patches direct from Microsoftâs own servers. AutoPatcher isnât just a tool to apply Windows hotfixes though. Besides being able to install critical and recommended Windows updates, it can also do the same for Microsoft Office and install a number of extras such as the Office add-on pack, Adobe Flash and Reader, JAVA, the .NET Framework and Visual C++ patches.
The package itself is split into 2 modules, the updater module (apup.exe) is where you select and download the chosen update packages, and the Patcher module (Autopatcher.exe) which you run to select the updates and addons to install on the unpatched system. Make sure to select and download the latest AutoPatcher program, engine and common module updates as the patch installer module gets downloaded in the engine update.
Tick everything you want and click Next to start downloading. When all the required updates are downloaded, simply take the whole folder on a flash drive or hard drive to the target computer, or find the network drive, and run AutoPatcher.exe. After a few EULA screens and a file integrity check, the options screen will be displayed where the available updates and extras can be chosen for install. Critical or important patches will be ticked already, those in blue are currently installed on your system and donât need selecting unless there is a specific need to do so.
Click the button and then wait for AutoPatcher to install all the updates you have selected. To use AutoPatcher all you need on your operating system is the latest service pack to be able to install hotfix updates as it doesnât support older Service Pack installs. SP3 for XP, SP2 for Vista and SP1 for Windows 7. Windows 8 isnât supported yet although there is talk in their forum of implementing it in the future. You donât need a clean install either, even the latest up to date Windows can still install any other add ons or extras that arenât currently installed. This is an essential tool to save serious amounts of time and effort.

2. WSUS Offline Update
Gty city game install. Description: Big City Racer - this is a new multiplayer racing game. If you are looking for the sea of adrenaline, this game is for you! You will be competing in the driving skills against thousands of competitors from Europe! Big City Racer will give you routes to Vienna. The most relevant program for Gty city game download for pc windows 10 is GTA Vice City. Get a free download for Game Software software in the specialized download selection.
Formally called cât Update, WSUS Offline Update is another tool that can update a number of Windows operating systems to the latest patches, and also keep nearly all versions of Microsoft Office up to date too. Although like Autopatcher in a lot of ways, thereâs also some differences. WSUS Offline Update can update any Windows revision and doesnât rely on it having the latest Service Pack installed. This can be a great help as lots of computers still donât have XP Service Pack 3 or Vista Service Pack 2 installed which makes Autopatcher unusable until theyâre updated. It can also download and install updates for several different languages so youâre not restricted to just English.
After downloading, extracting and running the UpdateGenerator.exe, tick the boxes to select the operating system versions, Office versions and languages you require. Everything is split over 3 tabs called Windows, Office and Legacy products which includes Windows XP and Office 2003 as support for them ends in 2014. Some of the Options are very useful such as whether to download Service Packs, and whether to include Microsoft Security Essentials or Defender definitions in the package. The inclusion of C++ Runtimes and .NET Frameworks is also optional but leaving them included will be a BIG time saver.
Something else WSUS Offline Update can do is write the update package to an ISO image which can be burned to CD/DVD/Blu-ray. Great for older systems or if you donât have the right sized USB flash drive handy. Alternatively choose the USB medium option to copy the updates onto a USB flash or hard drive. Once you press Start, a Command Prompt window will open and begin downloading the files from Microsoft, the wait could be long if youâve selected multiple options.
Once completed, you can then take the disc or drive to another computer and run UpdateInstaller.exe to popup the installer window. Some options such as Internet Explorer versions, .NET Frameworks, PowerShell and Media Player will be greyed out depending on whether you have the option already installed or if operating system supports it. The âAutomatic reboot and recallâ option is a potential big time saver if you want the updates to be installed unattended. Be aware that the option temporarily disables UAC and also creates a temporary new user account called WSUSAdmin while updating. It will be deleted again after updating has completed.

The developer of WSUS brings out a new version every month or so which includes the latest updates. If you have run the program before the latest version will download all the new updates since you last ran it, all the updates you already have donât need downloading again.

Sadly that is true, last updates were mid 2017. However, it will still update you to that point so youâre left with about a yearâs worth of updates, most of which will be in one roll-up update.

I install Windows on a recurrent basis, mostly on new or fully re-purposed computers. We have a WSUS in our organization to preserve updating bandwidth. (Thatâs sarcastic though, given how wasteful WSUS can be, if one does not know how to use it.) But I still want to install fully updated copies of Windows and MDT does not help. If only there was a tool to scan an offline Windows image for updates, and grab them from WSUS, I could integrate them into the said image with DISM.

Windows Updates Downloader has nothing to do with the updates installed on a running system. It downloads updates you tell it to from a predefined list so they can be integrated or installed separately.

Hey guys, would love some help!
First off, thank you for helping us. The internet is dope because people like you spread this info, but itâs shit because we have to protect ourselves fromâ¦them.
Problem: Every update I have installed since the first installment of Windows 10 has caused a decrease in performanceâmy CPU and GPU run muchâ¦MUCHâ¦hotter. Overclocking becomes a major issue. I smell the heat from inside my PC. Etc. Screw that. Seems like you canât manage your OS, Microsoft! I am not the only one with these problemsâ¦
Anywayâ¦
My want: I want to use my PC ONLY for gamingâthat I the only thing I want it to connect to the web for. I will learn how to set up really strict firewalls only allowing for game connections. Iâll use it for offline things, too, like essays. I would also like to use OneDrive. And email, though thatâs not a necessity because I have a laptop I can use for that.
I am about to check out WUMT.
**But my first question is:
1) if I only connect to some multiplayer games, email using the Mail app, and OneDrive, do I even need to update for security purposes? Oh, I will also have an antivirusâWebroot, because Windowsâ AV hogs up my resources.
2) If I DO need some things updated for security, even if I am blocking as much as I can incoming and outgoing, what parts of the update will these be, and will certain selected updates eventually cause compatibility issues because I am just installing updates in parts? I really, really just want to game on this thing.

1. Updates obviously patch bugs and holes in the operating system itself, so from that point of view, you need to stay up to date if you are going online in any capacity. Mail and OneDrive apps should have their own updates.
2. Microsoft are forever changing things in Windows 10 which means itâs constantly throwing up new bugs, incompatibilities, security issues, and other problems. They also group updates together so there could be some things you need for security and some crap you donât want in the same update, but have to install the update anyway.
The best thing you can do is to set up strict security policies, run a telemetry blocker like ShutUp10, and backup your system before an update so you can revert if it causes problems.

David,
Might have a solution for you. Especially if you are seeing this on Windows 2012 Server.
Note: we are seeing this problem on a number of machines that worked fine around christmas, but any new fresh installs done just since about *1st Jan 2017* are having this problem â on the same hardware/software that worked fine just three weeks before.
TL;DR: Use WSUS Offline AND NtLite, to slipstream all the updates into your install media, then try a fresh install with that. Reply
Good luck.

Hi.
can Wsus updater be downloaded and installed on the same computer? Have a desk top that was built about a year ago and some updates installed, but then wouldnât update anymore, so I gave up. Now have just got it (physically) cleaned and running OK, Would I unplug WiFi after download and before install?
Thanks.

Once you have all the updates downloaded, the updating tools can be run on any computer. Disabling the internet before running WSUS Offline Update can help but is not required.

Ok I have an extremely frustrating problem⦠Iâve tried, possibly, every single work around and 3rd party program for updating windows and it always fails the same way. The installation of the updates themselves simply wonât happen. At first I was stuck with windows update saying âchecking for updatesâ indefinitely. Then I tried several different methods of downloading some key updates manually from windows⦠all of the methods turn out the same result => The âMicrosoft update standalone packageâ file (.msu file) for every update chosen can be downloaded. The real issue is that when i attempt to install one of them, it says âchecking for updatesâ indefinitely.
I just tried WSUS with the installer, hoping that since it has its own installer it would be able to perform the installation. But it appears to be failing to install in the exact same way. Iâve been running it for a couple hours and its just sitting at the last cmd line with: âInstalling â¦â¦.623-x64.msuâ¦â (the first update). Looks its just using the windows installer on a loop.
TLDR: I can download any update I want from Microsoft manually or with any of these programs without an issue. I canât INSTALL any of them. Are there any other third party programs that donât use the windows installer api and have a standalone installation program? Like some kind of manual registry patcher or something?

at David,
Put any [.msu] files in a folder in âCâ root along with the batch file below in the same folder, make sure Windows Update in services is running on Automatic and started, then double-click on the batch file and monitor progress on the prompt screen that opens. When through immediately reboot and wait for Auto Update to do itâs thing before Windows starts. Itâs still faster that strictly using Auto Update in services. You must save the batch file as a [.reg] file and not a text [.txt] file. If you look online you can find the same batch installer file as below. Iâve installed 120 or so [.msu] files at once. (about 25 minutes, IIRC) @Echo off For %%# in (*.msu) Do ( Echo: Installing update: %%# Wusa â%%#â /quiet /norestart ) Echo Windows Update finished. Pause&Exit

I have a slightly different slant on this. Many of my 11 old (mostly) home computers have resource problems. I am retired and cant afford to update/upgrade. I have noticed on one machine, Windows has grown to twice its installed size (not counting programs) due to the unbounded updates of Microsoft. I occasionally have to reload windows from scratch to speed them up and in doing so, I notice many of the updates are useless (languages I dont speak, updates to IE or Media Player which I dont use, etc). Is there any compilation of truly necessary updates? I understand that is pretty nebulous as each user has his preferences, but there are groups of updates that could help and many are obscure fixes I will never need.
On a side note, can these programs download individual patches instead of SP1 , etc. It is the same problem, gigantic service packs full of crap. Decrapafier, where are you. I mostly use XP and W7 but XP is being abandoned like the plague. I have to move to Win 7 and collect the needed patches before they disappear and these programs seem to be the answer.

HAL9000 Author3 years ago
Sadly itâs like you say, a list like that will be very user specific. The problem with something like IE is itâs very tightly woven into the operating system itself and other software might well use IE files without you even knowing. As a result, even though you think you wonât need updates for it, you actually will to stay secure.
These tools all download individual post SP1 patches direct from Microsoft, so if you really wanted to, you could sort through them all manually and install what you want.

Portable Update has just saved my life. Windows 10 was having way too many issues and broken updates. So I downgraded to windows 8 (fresh install). But the darn thing wouldnât update at all! Windows Update was broken! Came across this site in my search for WU fixes and decided to try Portable Update. It has downloaded, installed, and configured every update I needed.
So done with WU right now, but I was so satisfied with PortUp that I decided to come back and let anyone else having problems with updating that Portable Update might just be the answer. It was for me, anyway.

Windows Updates Downloader hasnât been updated since March of this year. I tried WSUS a couple/3 years ago and have just downloaded AutoPatcher. WUD was the fastest Iâve found and installing with a .bat file has proved to be the fastest way to install. All hotfixes since SP1 (se7en x64) less than 15 minutes and reboot 1 time. Iâm hoping AutoPatcher will d/l faster than WSUS did. Reply

I came across this post recently and tried the wsus offline updater, for patching a freshly clean installed win7 home premium machine. Itâs downloaded the stuff without issues but seems to run into trouble while updating. While the system restarts automatically, the updates do not continue. And after multiple attempts I am unable to remove the temp user account created, I have deleted the account from Windows control panel, but the system still tries to boot in the same account and fails.
Try opening a Run dialog (Win+R) and type âControl Userpasswords2â and see if the temp user is listed there, if so delete it.

I had a similar idea, to install a WSUS Server so that I could continue to service XP Machines after April 8th.
I installed Server 2008r2 but is seems the Key I was given in Tech College is no longer good. I downloaded WSUS-Offline but noticed that this no longer downloads Windows 2000 updates, (or earlier). I tried downloading an earlier version of WSUS-Offline but the Windows 2000 updates are not available even for the earlier versions of this product. Exactly how do I get the XP computers I work on to update from my USB? (the files saved by WSUS-Offline)

WSUS Offline Update will copy all the files to a folder on your USB drive if you select the option at the bottom of the window, then you can update from there.

You donât need to install the patches one-by-one, the programs do that for you. Once you have the patches downloaded, just start Offline Update, Autopatcher or Portable Update and they will check what patches you already have and install all the ones you donât have automatically.

In actual fact, the second half of the same sentence answers your question: âa solution to get all the files and store them locally for deploying onto computers yourself manually.â In other words, once everything downloads itâs up to you to decide what patches to install, and then install each one by executing the patch file.

Whereas I found âmanuallyâ to be uselessly vague, âinstall each one by executing the patch fileâ is clear and specific. Thanks for clearing that up.
