Description
Command line utility that initiates installation of pre-downloaded updates on the Windows system & reboots, or shuts it down. This tool can also reboot (or shut down) your computer without installation of updates, or perform actions on condition of updates being ready for a restart. Optionally, this tool allows to specify a boot into advanced boot options menu in Windows 8/10.
Note that if Windows updates were not downloaded prior to calling this utility, the OS will simply perform a power operation similar to the Microsoft's shutdown tool.
