Sample Run

Example 1:

Running the script with basic /scan command to return the available updates.

Example 2:

Running the script to install available bios, firmaware, and driver updates.
This command will not install any active driver as we are not using the -forceupdate switch.

Example 3:

Running the script to forcefully install all available driver updates.
Caution: It is recommended to restart the computer at the earliest convenience after using the -forceupdate=enable switch, as this switch updates active drivers as well. An active driver that requires a restart for the update may malfunction if the update is installed without rebooting the computer.
