DESCRIPTION
Use Invoke-WUJobs cmdlet to invoke PSWindowsUpdate actions remot[e]ly. 
It [is] [b]ased on TaskScheduler because CreateUpdateDownloader() and 
CreateUpdateInstaller() methods can't be called from a remote computer - E_ACCESSDENIED.

Note: Because we do not have the ability to interact, is recommended use -AcceptAll for Install-WindowsUpdate.

Will it work with Get-WindowsUpdate?

PS> invoke-WUJob -Script { Get-WindowsUpdate -Verbose -RootCategories 'Critical Updates', 'Security Updates', 'Definition Updates' } -Verbose -RunNow -Confirm:$false
VERBOSE: Performing the operation "(7/1/2024 10:16:29 PM) Invoke WU job: powershell.exe -Command " Get-WindowsUpdate -Verbose -RootCategories 'Critical Updates', 'Security Updates', 'Definition Updates' "" on target "PC".

No output.

Is "Invoke-WUJob" limited to installations?

The problem is caused by a Windows setting, because it does not appear on other computers with the same OS.
