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){...}

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
