Windows update toggle start/stop/disable batch file

a little experiment with Windows update start/stop/disable in a single batch file:

Code:

@echo off
color 1F
set service=wuauserv

sc query %service% | find "RUNNING"
if "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="0" (
    net stop %service%
    sc config %service% start= disabled
) else (
    sc config %service% start= demand
    net start %service%
)

timeout /t 2

sc query %service% >>TEMPmessage.txt
msg %username% /time:20 <TEMPmessage.txt
del TEMPmessage.txt /f /q
exit

any suggestions to improve the script are most welcomed.

 

just tried your script but the toggle "sc config" does not seem to work, only works with the "net" command.

thanks for your input.

when Windows update is stopped I want the service disabled.
