Windows 10: USOclient

Hello,


Since wuauclt has been depreciated in windows 10, I was googling what has replaced it.


I found that usoclient is what has replaced this command for windows update in the command line.


However none of the commands work except one


USOclient ScanInstall Wait



The startScan option kicks it on for about a half second but fails to actually scan


Here are the commands I could find

• RefreshSettings – used to quickly enact any settings changes
• RestartDevice – as the name implies, it restarts the device. Can be used in a script to allow updates to finish installing on next boot.
• ResumeUpdate – used to tell the tool to resume updating after a reboot.
• StartDownload – initiates a full download (from Microsoft) of existing updates
• StartInstall – kicks-off the installation of the downloaded updates
• ScanInstallWait – Combined Scan Download Install
• StartInteractiveScan – we’ve yet to get this one to work, but it suggests that the process may work in a GUI
• StartScan – kicks-off a regular scan

If anyone has any info on this it would be greatly appreciated.

:)

 

What is "usoclientexe"?

It is part of Windoze. It is not actually spyware, it is part of the update system. This article provides some more details:

usoclient.exe and update error

Do a browser search for usoclient and see the discussions and what to do.

 

USOclient.exe randomly opened

I am sorry, but your post makes no sense.

I did sfc /scannow and it found nothing wrong.

I did the DISM scan health thing, and it found nothing.

The restore health command is currently running.

The usoclient popup yesterday corresponded with one time when Windows was looking for new Windows Updates, but on subsequent cases where Windows was looking for updates no usoclient popup came.

Does anyone know what is going on?

Could this just be a glitch from my Win 7 to 10 upgrade?
