I was using wuauclt.exe /detectnow /updatenow till now
and now on my Windows 10 Enterprise Build 1511 it's not working
Is there an alternative way to detect and install updates using command?
I know it installs them automatically but i have no control over that schedule, i am not looking to defer them. I just want to be able to install if they are available on demand.
My Test
I had this machine where updates were installed on 4/11 so on 4/13 it was just sitting there not installing the updates, I ran the above command it did nothing
Then i went to PC Settings manually click Check Updates and it started installing.
So instead of having to manually check i would like to do that via command

wuauclt.exe /detectnow has been deprecated according to "Features Removed or Deprecated in Windows Server 2016" for Windows Server 2016 and likely by extension Windows 10.
