Windows 10 has toombed yet another function within Windows, and now the ‘wuauclt’ command line tools is dead. To replace the old tool, Microsoft has created a brand new Windows Update tool called: ‘usoClient’.
The ‘usoClient’ is a part of the new Windows 10 Update Orchestrator family and is located in the System32 folder, and like ‘wuauclt’ the ‘usoClient’ can do a lot of cool Windows Update stuff.
