WSUS Offline Update - Update Microsoft Windows and Office without an Internet connection
This is a freeware third party magic update tool for windows.
Of course you need to run non-microsoft sowtware and give it unfettered access to your system !!
You can have all of the files on a USB stick and it whacks the updates in somehow. I can't now recall the size of the update files, 5GB?
Much faster than MS update process and seems to work when the normal update process fails.
It looks a bit complex but the only decision you need to make is which updates to download Win 7/8/10 and 32/64bit. It gets the updates from MS.
You usually need to run the UpdateInstaller.exe more than once. You need to read the output to see if it is asking you to "reboot and recall" and if it does ReBoot and run it again.
Just accept all the defaults and press "Start".
