Windows 10 Version Update using PowerShell

Question

Am I faced with such a problem that I need to update Widows 10 to next build (for example from 1903 to 1909) using PowerShell.

I use next methods:

1)

$Updates = Start-WUScan
Install-WUUpdates -Updates $Updates

2)

Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force 
Install-Module -Name PSWindowsUpdate -Confirm:$False -Force
Get-Package -Name PSWindowsUpdate
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force
$WinUpdates=Get-WindowsUpdate -MicrosoftUpdate -Verbose
Install-WindowsUpdate -KBArticleID $WinUpdates.kb -AcceptAll

Both of these options work great, they find and install updates. BUT! All these updates are for the current build only. Updates to the transition to the next build are not found.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or how to install an update that will allow me to upgrade to the next version of Windows?

I found an article about how you can do a feature upgrade with PowerShell:

$dir = 'C:\_Windows_FU\packages'
mkdir $dir
$webClient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
$url = 'https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=799445'
$file = "$($dir)\Win10Upgrade.exe"
$webClient.DownloadFile($url,$file)
Start-Process -FilePath $file -ArgumentList '/quietinstall /skipeula /auto upgrade /copylogs $dir'

I couldn't test it. Here is the source: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/51104081-4ed7-4fdd-8b12-5d1f5be532ae/windows-10-feature-update-via-cmd-powershell-or-gpo?forum=win10itprogeneral

using this manual I was able to update the test computer tutorial to get list of windows updates:

Add-WUServiceManager -ServiceID "7971f918-a847-4430-9279-4a52d1efe18d" -AddServiceFlag 7
Get-WUlist -MicrosoftUpdate

But remember in list can be wrong size of updates.... Notice that when installing a build upgrade with PSWindowsUpdate, restart does not yet finalize upgrade. When you have restarted from PowerShell after PSWindowsUpdate has downloaded and installed build upgrade, it is in fact only initialized, not installed.

You must restart once more from Start > Power > Update and restart Also you can find usefull info here
