    Is there a way to schedule to check for/install updates?


    I am looking for a way to automate checking for updates. Ideally, I would like to use Windows Scheduler to run a script every Friday evening that would tell my computer to check for updates and install them if any updates are available. Can this be done, preferably without using any 3rd party software?

    geforce experience takes an age to load..

    Well that's why I asked. Mine is on SSD and takes 11 seconds. Your list of games will not appear if it has not checkd for updated suggested settings for awhile until it checks.

    When it says it is refreshing the game list, it is checking, because NVIDIA periodically updates suggested settings. Plus it will look for those for new games you have installed.

    So, the less it is run, the slower it will be.
