Windows – Need a batch program to install all manually downloaded Windows Updates in one single click

updateswindows 8

I got some pre-installed Windows 8 PC. I don't want to automatically download the same updates for all PC again and again which will reduce my internet speed.
So, I have manually downloaded the Window Update (.msu extenstion).

The problem is there are total of 163 updates. I don't have time and energy to click Next > Install > Close for 163 times. I want to install in just one single click using my downloaded .msu update files.

I have tried some third party applications but those doesn't seem to help me.

Appreciate all the help and answers.

From How to Install a .msu Update on Windows 7 from the Command Line:

To install an .msu update package, run Wusa.exe together with the full path of the file:

  • If Windows6.0-KB934307-x86.msu is within D:\934307\, install the update package via:
    wusa d:\934307\Windows6.0-KB934307-x86.msu

  • To run without user interaction, use the /quiet switch (auto-reboots if required).
    wusa d:\934307\Windows6.0-KB934307-x86.msu /quiet
    • When using this switch, Microsoft's Software License Terms do not appear.
    • To prevent an auto-reboot, use the /norestart switch, which is ignored if /quiet is not present (if installation requires a reboot, Windows must be manually rebooted):
      wusa D:\934307\Windows6.0-KB934307-x86.msu /quiet /norestart

Using this format, run the following batch file contents from within the folder containing the updates:

Set Folder="C:\updates"
for %%f in (%Folder%\*.msu) do (
  wusa.exe %%f /quiet /norestart
)

Notes:

  • You can check whether the .bat file worked or not by trying to manually install the update; Windows Update should reply Update already installed on this computer.
  • If you see nothing works after running the batch file, delete /quiet to see the error report.
