    Ok so since 1709 there are some WindowsUpdate related cmdlets, but no documentation!?
    Has anyone insight to this cmdlets or can provide help?

    updating the help results in :

    PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Update-Help -Module WindowsUpdateProvider
    Update-Help : Failed to update Help for the module(s) 'WindowsUpdateProvider' with UI culture(s) {en-US} : Unable to retrieve the HelpInfo XML file for UI culture 
    en-US. Make sure the HelpInfoUri property in the module manifest is valid or check your network connection and then try the command again.
    At line:1 char:1
    + Update-Help -Module WindowsUpdateProvider
    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        + CategoryInfo          : ResourceUnavailable: (:) [Update-Help], Exception

    There is no such module as "WindowsUpdateProvider" in any version of PowerShell.

    Sorry. Yes that module does not have updateable help or MS has lost the link for it as they have on many modules.

    See: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/windows-powershell-docs/issues/139
