Download / Install Windows Updates from Python

Question

I am working on a script to automate the installation of Windows updates that I can deploy to multiple machines, so I don’t have to worry about updating them manually. I would like to write this in Python, but could not find anything about how this will be done. I need to know how to search for updates, download updates, and install them all from a python script. Any help would be great!

Answer 1

Let me start with this: I do not think the Python script is the best tool to work with. If you want to perform enterprise-level update management (for example, for all computers on a network), you should seriously consider using existing MS tools .

Having said that, here is how you can do it:
