Windows Update Script

I added this before the first Function; note that I install and run from a
C:\Utils folder, not Program Files, change as needed.

 $extfilepath = 'c:\Utils\ext'
  IF(!(Test-Path $extfilepath))
  {New-Item C:\Utils\ext ?Type Directory}

I also filtered the output in the ForEach loop by enclosing   If ($patchAge
-lt 365){...}

Thanks all for your feedback,

Perhaps this could be added to Xymonton

I dont know who manage Xymonton, but he could add it!

Yes, an excellent script! For my copy, I added a check that the ext
folder exists, create if not (it doesn't by default in my environment).

Also it found an obsolete patch of 2978 days old (not even available at MS)
so I created a filter to exclude reporting on patches over 365 days.

Let us know what modification did you did! (Send an email or create an
issue on Github)! And my 2 cents comments:
- The check for the ext folder to exist should be better in the
powershell client: maybe just a warning or just created at the install time
(or both)
- For the obsolete patch, a filter seems not a perfect solution (but
could be still usefull to have the code!): if you know a better way to do
it or if you know why it is not reported as it is in Windows: let us know !

Hello List,

Thanks to Kris, we (the list) receive a script to manage Windows
Updates!

With his authorization I just published the script on Github and a
guide to make it running quickly
