Run Dell updates by using cmd

Hello,

I would like to know if there is a way to update Dell drivers by only using cmd, i tried  to run this command %Program Files (x86)%\Dell\CommandUpdate and run the dcu-cli.exe, and it did nothing except run the exe file

thanks for helping

    dcu-cli.exe /scan  will display any candidates for installation

    dcu-cli.exe /applyupdates will install all pending updates

    there is a fairly complex set of commands available to pick and choose what you do and don't want to install. Patches can be put on hold or installed one by one.

    "there is a fairly complex set of commands available to pick and choose what you do and don't want to install."  

    ---Could you possibly link to those complex set of commands, or maybe list the most useful ones to you?  

    thank you

    I'm afraid all I have is whats available under 

    dcu-cli.exe /?

    It displays a pretty long help guide, which, so far as I can tell, includes things like blocking individual patches, scheduling automatic patching, exclusions.
