Windows 10: Scripting, either PS or cmd, to change Windows Update Advanced options

Hello Everyone,
Decided it was time to join, and reach out for help. I work for a Hardware Retailer and we just upgraded to windows 10 computers for our POS registers, Dell optiplex 9010 w/i5 and 8gb ram. I have no formal training and have learned along the way. When I updated from Build 1803 to 1809, our payment devices exhibited issues and would not communicate. The temp solution was to revert back to 1803 until the bugs were worked out of 1809. Then remote into each register computer and go to updates/advanced options/switch to Not targeted/delay for 365 and delay for 30days. This was painstaking logging into 355 machines to do. Now, I want to switch those settings to allow the next feature update, 1809, then switch back to prevent after 1809 is installed so I can test any future feature updates before going to all 355 registers. I started looking and found some powershell info. Downloaded the "PSwindowsupdate zip file" and installed as prescribed, but cannot find any pertinent scripting info to get into the updates advanced options settings to change via script. Can anyone lend a hand?

:)

 

Using these PS commands in CMD


Hi there,
thank you for this wonderfull tuto
I have a specific demand, because I want to do things in my own way *chuckle

Opening PS without Restricted policy --> Done
Typing Get-AppxPackage *name* | Remove-AppxPackage --> Done. And it works !
Creating a uninstall-apps.ps1 script with many lines and executing it in PS with C:\Users\Govi\uninstall-apps.ps1 --> Done. And it works ! *Biggrin

Now, I would like to execute my uninstall-apps.ps1 script from cmd or from a .bat script (back to old black cmd windows <3)... But it doesn't work...
I tried :
powershell.exe C:\Users\Govi\uninstall-apps.ps1
powershell.exe -noexit C:\Users\Govi\uninstall-apps.ps1
powershell.exe -noexit "& 'C:\Users\Govi\uninstall-apps.ps1'"
powershell.exe -noexit -file "C:\Users\Govi\uninstall-apps.ps1"
and many others...
none of theese line work. *Sad
With other commands in the .ps1 script, such as Write-Host Hello world!, it works... But not the command I want.

Eventually, is there a way to execute this batch PS script from cmd or a .bat script ? *sarc

Thank you very much !

EDIT : I continued trying and it worked from a .bat script ! I don't know why it doesn't work from the cmd directly, but the .bat script with powershell C:\Users\Govi\uninstall-apps.ps1 works perfectly.
