I'm building Installer project with C# (.NET 4). My application need to vallidate that user installed all important updates from "Windows Updates". I already know how to check if there are important updates which not installed yet and I want to let the user the option to execute "check for updates" operation from button in my App.

I tried to search for simillar posts without success.

Do you have any suggestions for me?

Another question: Do you know how to open "Windows Update" window from code (without checking for updates)?

For your second question: you could try `Process.Start("wuapp.exe");` – Gene May 14 '13 at 08:22
