Hello experts,

These days Windows updates is taking too long to get install the updates.
I have an idea to run/install the updates when User logsoff after office hours.
But I don't know how to start? I am not sure if this is a good idea and doable idea.
Appreciate your suggestions.
I have already been to

You can only update your machine and the internet connection to install updates fast.

You don't need to write any code for this. In a domain environment, you can control all of this by simply setting up appropriate Group Policies.
