    Actually, you can. Depending on what the update is there are a couple ways to do it. Most will center around a command step using wusa.exe, while others, such as this latest Excel update for example:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4018337/description-of-the-security-update-for-excel-2016-april-10-2018, can be installed via the command line with switches on the self-extracter for the exe file.

    Documentation on those switches is found here:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/912203/description-of-the-command-line-switches-that-are-supported-by-a-softw

     

    So for example you'd deploy this particular update linked above in a step like this:

    I also am attempting to do the same thing but am having no luck. I am trying to install the KB but either get a failed error or it just keeps running with no results.

    I do not have a solution for this but would like to say I also am having an issue with trying to get Microsoft Office 2016 security updates to run through PDQ Deploy. Is no one monitoring this site?
