Hello @PradeepMISHRA,

You can prepare a PS script using the following cmdlets. This script is applicable to a single computer. But you can easily prepare it for all computers in the network

Run the following commands in a computer and see how it works. By adding the required cmdlets for remote installation, you can automate it for entire computers.

 Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force
 Install-PackageProvider NuGet
 Install-Module PSWindowsUpdate
 Import-Module PSWindowsUpdate

Now the computer is ready to check online for available updates.

 Get-WindowsUpdate

The list will show you available updates. Select the required updates and update it using the following cmdlet

 Install-WindowsUpdate -KBArticleID <ID1> <ID2>...

Please mark as "Accept the answer" if the above steps helps you. Others with similar issues can also follow the solution as per your suggestion

Regards,

Manu
