Help

 

I need to install updates for a windows OS in a short period of time, with a painfully slow connection. Any suggestions?

You could download from Microsoft on another computer?

catalog.update.microsoft.com - Microsoft Update Catalog

That doesn't include the Windows 10 home packages

Start earlier.

Download while you are asleep. If you had started last night after you posted this, you would have been done by now.

Jared Messervy?, thanks for the link. Are the downloads individual exe's or is there a way to install a list of them all at once?

Jason, have often thought along the same lines, with everything being downloaded, how do people with slow download speeds get things done. There should be a way to order the needed software via mail. Doesn't help you much but thought I would chime in.

Cough!!! .... download.wsusoffline.net - WSUS Offline Update - Update Microsoft Windows and Office without an Internet connection

Would really like to see how this (download.ususoffline.net)works so Jason if you use it enlighten me.

Quite simple. Download an executable, run it, select the OS(es) and MS softwares, then it downloads everything and puts it into a directory. Copy the directory to a flash drive, and run an exe to apply the massive trove of updates. Their website isn't all that informative, but I've used the tool many times since removing WSUS role from my server.
