Install Windows Updates from MS from PDQ Deploy
I got tried of running windows update manually against MSFT when SCCM fails or when you want to deploy a new workstation and you need to run windows Update. I created a PDQ Deploy job that sets Windows update to get all update. You usually have to click on Advanced and set it to give me all patches. Next it downloads pswindowsupdate and imports the module and last step. It starts installing Windows update against MSFT. It created a log on C:\. I created a Tool in PDQ Inventory that can read the log so you can see what it installed. I added this step to new workstation build so it always leaves patched. This job has been working out great when we need to just run MS Updates. All it needs is internet access.

Can you please share the package used ?
Sure:
Create 3 powershell steps:
Step 1, I wanted to enable option to get all other updates for other MS products.
$ServiceManager = New-Object -ComObject "Microsoft.Update.ServiceManager"
$ServiceManager.ClientApplicationID = "My App"
$NewService = $ServiceManager.AddService2("7971f918-a847-4430-9279-4a52d1efe18d",7,"")
Step 2, This step installs module PSwindowsupdate. It uses NuGet to download the package.
Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -Force
Install-Module pswindowsupdate -force
Import-Module PSWindowsUpdate -force
Step 3, This steps starts the install. I added option to not install feature update. It will download, install and reboot the desktop. It will put a log file on root of C:\
Invoke-WUJob -ComputerName $env:COMPUTERNAME -force -runnow -confirm:$false -Script {ipmo PSWindowsUpdate; Install-WindowsUpdate -MicrosoftUpdate -AcceptAll -NotKBArticleID "KB4601319", "KB5000802" -AutoREboot | Out-File C:\PSWindowsUpdate.log } -Verbose
