    Schedule downloading and installing of Windows Update


    Hello!


    Is any way to configure Windows Update manually, to get updates DOWNLOAD & INSTALL on specific day?

    I do not want that Windows Updates will be downloaded and installed during standard work day. I would like that Windows will do it only on the weekend, e.g. on Sunday. I know that there is a option to autoupdate and install on specific day, but issue is that I want that WU will be as well downloaded on specific day... and should not be done it manually by me option with notifying that updates are ready to download and install.


    Hope you understand my question... ;

    Many thanks in advance for help,

    BR

    :)
