What is WUAUCLT.exe

This utility is the Automatic Updates client and is responsible for all of the user interactions involved when deploying software updates, for example displaying the UI for download and install progress, showing the reboot notification, and so on. The Automatic Updates client communicates with the Automatic Updates engine through a private application programming interface (API).

As a utility we can run, WUAUCLT.exe includes the following command line switches:

/DetectNow Forces a detection cycle

/ShowSettingsDialog Opens the UI for “Help Protect your PC: turn on Automatic Updates” which allows you to configure Automatic Updates settings

/ResetAuthorization Resets the cookie and the Software Update Services client ID

/ResetEulas Resets the end user license agreements (EULAs) for updates

 /DemoUI Launches the System Tray icon
