How would I remove the users request to "approve" everything in this .VBS script and instead just let it autorun/install everything found?
Details on how the script runs:
This .VBS script here runs on the Windows computer, searchs for Windows Update, then manually ask the user to "okay" each update it finds. Once the user hits "okay" and accepts the updates found, it then downloads it.
Once the Widnows Updates downloads, it then asks the user again to approve each Windows Update install. Which is not automated..... I'm not familiar with .VBS enough to edit this script.

.Explanation:
WScript
or CScript
, you still run the scripts in the same manner. The difference is only in the output — WScript
generates windowed output, while CScript
sends its output to the command window in which it was started. On initial installation, the default host is WScript
. To change it to CScript
, type the following at the command line: cscript //h:cscript
.Cscript.exe YourScript.vbs < Prepared-Y.txt
redirection: we don't know number of Y
lines in input file as we can't estimate number of updates in advance; could lead to an error Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Input past end of file
