Since Windows 10 is not using Control Panel anymore for Windows Updates, it is not that simple to create a shortcut anymore. To create a shortcut to Windows Update, use the following procedure:
- Right-click on the Desktop and choose New > Shortcut
- In the "Location of the item" field, type
ms-settings:windowsupdate
- Click Next
- In the "Name of the shortcut" field, type
Windows Update
- Click on Finish
