Make a Windows Update shortcut?


I'd like to have an icon or shortcut to Windows Update, preferably in the Start Window.

Currently I have to type "Update" in search to get there. 3 steps, very clunky.

In Windows 7 we had a link in the Start > Programs Menu. Something like that.

Mean left click start menu select Settings and click Update &Security is still to long of a process. To me way Windows update is on Windows 10 what is use having it so quickly accessible ?

#5 .If you like, you can Pin to Taskbar, Pin to Start, add to All apps, add to Quick Launch, assign a keyboard shortcut to, or move this shortcut to where you like for easy use.

P.S. I used this tutorial and I extracted the zip file to the desktop. Now I have a Windows Update desktop shortcut.


You can make a shortcut using a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier). Here is a link to a page that tells you how.
The URI for Windows Update is near the bottom of the list.

Just right click Update in the settings app to pin it to start menu




Hmm, Cliff beat me by 3 seconds, LOL.

Didn't he want it on desktop, not in start menu ?

Well that was easy! Thanks all.

I was trying to right click everywhere BUT there!

No, I wanted it in Start, not desktop.

O.k. because someone else was showing that to and i thought that is where you wanted the shortcut.
