To create a shortcut to Windows Update on the desktop for all users:
In C:\Users\Public\Desktop create a shortcut with the following path:
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe shell:::{36eef7db-88ad-4e81-ad49-0e313f0c35f8}
To make the icon match, use the one located in the following DLL:
%SystemRoot%\System32\wucltux.dll
You can use this PowerShell script to automatically create it:
$WshShell = New-Object -comObject WScript.Shell $Shortcut = $WshShell.CreateShortcut("$env:PUBLIC\Desktop\Windows Update.lnk") $Shortcut.TargetPath = "$env:SystemRoot\explorer.exe" $Shortcut.Arguments = "shell:::{36eef7db-88ad-4e81-ad49-0e313f0c35f8}" $Shortcut.WorkingDirectory = "$env:SystemRoot" $Shortcut.IconLocation = "$env:SystemRoot\System32\wucltux.dll" $Shortcut.Save()
