Is there a command or other way to manually tell windows when to update

[tmt]

I don't have dsl at home but I have it at work and at the library where
I attend classes. When I'm in the library on the wireless network it
is the perfect time to do things like that so is there a way for me to
tell windows to do it then or manually tell it to start an update?

Click on the Windows Update icon on the Start Menu or open Internet
Explorer, Tools, Windows Update when you're at work or at the library.

Right click an open area on your Desktop and select New ->
Shortcut from the drop down menu.
In the Create Shortcut wizard, copy and paste the following
into the location box:

%SystemRoot%\system32\wupdmgr.exe

Click Next.
Name the new shortcut Windows Update.
Click Finish.
When you're at work or the library, you can click on this icon
and go directly to the Windows update site. Better yet, drag
the icon into the Quick Launch are of your Taskbar so it's
always visible.

thank you for your help. I was hoping I could give it a command to do
what the automatic update handles. Meaning tell it to automatically
update only the things marked as critical by microsoft. Oh well.
Thank you
