Windows 10: Make a Windows Update shortcut?

I'd like to have an icon or shortcut to Windows Update, preferably in the Start Window.

Currently I have to type "Update" in search to get there. 3 steps, very clunky.

In Windows 7 we had a link in the Start > Programs Menu. Something like that.

How to make a

Windows recovery disc and a back up

on a USB drive instead of a disc?

There is something(?) on my PC

stored on drive D that was partitioned from the original drive C

Is there a way to copy this to a USB drive and

will it do the recovery job?

In case you need to reinstall Windows 10.. (from the free download) on my previous

Windows 7 Pro software?

Hi Cararta, do you mean you want to create bootable Windows 10 Installation Media, in case you ever need to reinstall Windows 10?

If s0, click this link:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-downlo...

to download the Media Creation Tool (Click on Download Tool Now), with that you can download the latest Windows 10 ISO (Select Create Installation Media for Another PC), you can create a bootable USB flash drive (min 8GB) using that tool

 

Mean left click start menu select Settings and click Update &Security is still to long of a process. To me way Windows update is on Windows 10 what is use having it so quickly accessible ?

#5 . If you like, you can Quick Launch, assign a keyboard shortcut to, or move this shortcut to where you like for easy use.

P.S. I used this tutorial and I extracted the zip file to the desktop. Now I have a Windows Update desktop shortcut.

 

You can make a shortcut using a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier). Here is a link to a page that tells you how.

The URI for Windows Update is near the bottom of the list.

 

Just right click Update in the settings app to pin it to start menu

 

Hmm, Cliff beat me by 3 seconds, LOL.*Thumbs

 

Didn't he want it on desktop, not in start menu ?

 

Well that was easy! Thanks all.

I was trying to right click everywhere BUT there!

 

No, I wanted it in Start, not desktop.

 

O.k. because someone else was showing that to and i thought that is where you wanted the shortcut.

 

That's why I gave you the link to the tutorial.
The tutorial offers more ways than just pin to start.

Now that you have your question answered, please mark this thread as Solved.
Thank you.

 

The NSA did it for me!
