    I never use PSWindowsUpdate, but let's try to resolve this.

    You wont be able to export the result by simply pipelining it to export-csv as the object is a Collection You can see this by running  (Get-WUList).GetType()

    Anyway, you still can export it by using the following line

    (Get-WUList).GetEnumerator() | Export-Csv -Path C:\MyUpdate.csv

    Same thing applied for the category.

    That was exactly what I needed. Thank you so much, and I've learned something new.

    I'm trying to get the "Category" or "RootCategories", but as it's a parameter for the cmdlet, I'm not being ablet to understand how will I extract "Category" or "RootCategories".

     

    Thanks
