Dear Techs

I m trying to use PowerShell and automate windows update troubleshooter. The below command suppose to ask me questions to generate the answer file , but it just completes the execution as soon as i hit enter. The answer file just contains below couple of lines - which i believe is not helpful to automate the process.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<Answers Version="1.0"/>

Has anybody successfully generated the answer file. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance !
