I have been patching Windows 7 machines that haven't been turned on for a few months and have found that the update process takes an age of man to complete without manual intervention. (local WSUS)

Fortunately, I have found a process that's worked to speed up the update process.

1. Download and Install the latest Windows Update Agent

2. Run MS Windows Update Diagnoistic tool

3. Install Windows6.1-KB3172605-x64 (post install reboot required)

4. run wuauclt /r /a

That is way too intense on IT staff time.

1. Click check for updates.
2. Close window and tell user to work like normal.
3. Next morning, click install.
4. Close window and tell user to work like normal and when it pops up to reboot, do so.

Way less IT time involved.

Yes, this is true but it can be done while doing other things on the PC. You know, multitasking
