    Hi，

    The comparison operator in PowerShell is "-lt", not "<" and you should specify the if block using the curly braces. 

    if((Get-CimInstance Win32_OperatingSystem).BuildNumber -le 19042)  
{  
    Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted  
    Install-Module PSWindowsUpdate  
    Import-Module PSWindowsUpdate  
    Get-WindowsUpdate -KBArticleID KBXXXXXX -Install -AcceptAll -AutoReboot  
}

    Best Regards,
    Ian Xue
