In Windows 10, is there a command similar to wuapp.exe that will launch the Windows Update GUI?

In previous versions of windows running the command wuapp.exe would launch the Windows Update GUI.

I want to be able to launch the Windows Update GUI from within a script/program thus would like to know if there is a replacement or similar command that works on Windows 10?

What you're looking for is ms-settings:windowsupdate

From the run dialog this will open the Windows Update settings page. From cmd you need to add start infront of the string (there may be a better way, but I haven't spent much time looking.)

There is a list of all of these strings on MSDN.

The old Desktop Windows Update UI is removed in Windows 10 . Run ms-settings:windowsupdate to open the Windows Update view from the settings app.
