rudrax Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Actually, I was never thinking that it will be so easy to download windows updates with IDM having resume support. In this tutorial I'm gonna share how to download windows updates with the fastest download manager in the planet. Here's how: Quote 1. Get the windows updates list from the control panel Quote 2. Select one from the list and note the 'KB number' Quote 3. Now, open your web browser and go to 'download.microsoft.com' Quote 4. In the search box paste the 'KB number' and select 'Search download center' from the dropdown menu and hit 'enter' Quote 5. The results list will be displayed with updates designated by the 'KB number' Quote 6. Find your one and click on it Quote 7. Next, a page will appear with a download button on it Quote 8. Click on the button and IDM will capture it UPDATE: Now no need to do all these. Microsoft have made available the update catalog to all platforms. So just go to http://catalog.update.microsoft.com enter the KB number and download whatever you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimRock Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Thanks for sharing !!!I think this method will take no. of shots to download chunk of updates which is very time consuming. IMO Automatic Windows Update Center always downloads the updates with best possible download speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudrax Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 Thanks for sharing !!!I think this method will take no. of shots to download chunk of updates which is very time consuming. Update size of KB 2836988 captured from MS download page has a whopping 162.54 MB size as compared to 62.5 MB in the windows update list. IMO Automatic Windows Update Center always downloads the updates with best possible download speed.The 162.54 MB one isn't KB2836988, it's KB2769165 in fact. And you can see that in the screenshot too.catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspxYou must use internet explorer 6.0 or later for this. I guess, most of the people don't even like IE to be in there system :tehe: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For users like me, 1 GB bandwidth is a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MITHI PRASAD Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Use windows update catalog, plain & simple. works with ie onlyIt's a service from Microsoft that provides a listing of updates that can be distributed over a corporate network. You can use it as a one-stop location for finding Microsoft software updates, drivers, and hotfixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supremee Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I have downloaded windows updates (83 nos.) from Microsoft Update Catalog. Would there be a tool which installs these updates automatically without me having to install each of them manually ???. Thanks . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
